The story's been told a million fold
Of an artist's search for fame
As the years go by

His soul cries out in vain

All in fun when all's been done

Can you bear the weight
The tears you cry
Will never change your fate


Lust for life
And hands that worked so clever

The sadness lasts forever

When the battles been lost a costly cost

Rotting in the grave
As the years go by
The world is left to blame
