Dust owns the streets where blood used to flow
What became of the joy and the pain we used to know?
Now lost in time and remembered for generations
Dead and lifeless of all known sensations
Majestic and bright like a new born’s smile
I survey all I command, it’s been more than a while
Since the Lion\u2019s roar and the Gladiator’s scream
Lives laid down life and death, nothing in between<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything’s gone but the paupers and their loads
Since they’ve gone it’s just dirt between my toes
Was I a Father? Maybe a Son?
But What have I left? And what have I done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place of nothing gave it all to me
It\u2019s all so empty now, I can see what\u2019s left of me
With a crosscut smile and old anger in my heart
I dream I could go back, right to the start
I\u2019m happy here, just leave me be
Naked, nothing to prove, nothing to fear
I did what I did, I did what I could
They just didn\u2019t like it, I was misunderstood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything’s gone but the paupers and their loads
Since they’ve gone it’s just dirt between my toes
A boy or a girl? A woman or a man
I was honest and true, you knew where to stand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything to gain and nothing to lose
I refuse to be judged until you’ve walked in my shoes
I did it for you, i did it for me.
One day you will care enough to know it was me who set you free
Now I\u2019m gone I\u2019ll never come back
I came and I conquered it all with just pack on my back
I\u2019ve ruled the iron fist and been overthrown
What I did best I did on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:
Everything’s gone but the paupers and their loads
Since they’ve gone it’s just dirt between my toes
But I\u2019ve been here, and I\u2019ve always been me
And that\u2019s the way it’s always gonna be<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
