Chorus w/Rh.Fig.2 til end Melancholy (Holy Martyr) [Schaffer] Make the sadness go away Come back another day For years I've tried to teach But their eyes are empty Empty too I have become For them I must die A sad and troubled race An ungrateful troubled place [chorus] I see the sadness in their eyes Melancholy in their cries Devoid of all the passion The human spirit cannot die Look at the pain around me This is what I cry for Look at the pain around me This is what I'll die for Make the sadness go away Come back another day The things I've said and done Don't matter to anyone But still, you push me to see Something, I can never be Why am I their shattered king? I don't mean anything I see the sadness in their eyes Melancholy in their cries Devoid of all the passion The human spirit cannot die Look at the pain around me This is what I cry for Look at the pain around me This is what I'll die for
