Select language to translate this lyric
I'm so tired of feeling this way all the time
Running, winded from the sickness in my mind
And it's a dark and it's an ugly thing, I know
That we all have to face down some time, I suppose
So let me go
Cause you can't save me
When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes
Aw, let me go
And some day maybe
I'll return a stronger man, for all I know
So wrap me up, babe, in white linens
'til I cannot see or speak
So I will not hear them coming
When my mortal will is weak
Cause I feel them coming on like jackals
Preying on the shape I'm in
Tugging at my weathered heartstrings
Tearing at my tired skin
So let me go
Cause you can't save me
When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes
Aw, let me go
And some day maybe
I'll return a stronger man, for all I know
I have wronged those who might love me
I have maimed my fellow man
I have stolen, lied, and cheated
For reasons that I don't understand
But if I must pay for all my wicked deeds tenfold
Let me die with a clear conscience
When I'm five hundred years old
Yeah, let me go
Cause you can't save me
When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes
Ah, let me go and some day baby
I'll return a stronger man for what I've known
I will return a stronger man for what I've known
