The Pain - Bob Catley

Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings

Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done, the pain lingers on in the world

Life was an emotional knife

It cut the flesh, it hit the bone

It made reality a web of lies

Life was a perpetual high

Up on the wire without a net

He couldn’t balance so he took a dive

When Vegas called he got the message far away

They begged this worn out king to play

The mighty fall inside the measure of the day

It’s pitiful, it’s all in vain

Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings

Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done, the pain lingers on in the world

Life and its unbearable fire

The night his mother passed away

He poured his soul into her funeral pyre

Life through unforgettable eyes

For though he tried to face the dark

He lost the battle but he never dies

He had it all, somehow he let it slip away

Much of his death is unexplained

Now just a memory shines out beyond the grave

Remembers all that now remains

Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings

Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done, the pain lingers on in the world

Lingers on in the world

Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings

Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done, the pain lingers on in the world

Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings

Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done, the pain lingers on in the world

This wasn’t meant to be the end of the story

Now that it’s done
