Something for the Ages - HammerFall

As I slip and slide Banging against the walls Barely qualified Drifting barren halls Bosses of deride I accept their charm Someday this will change Experts, they will swarm 'Cause it's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages As I write my tomb Every single night My eyes show the strain Every single night But I'm pressing on Every word a pearl And I'm pressing on It will change the world 'Cause it's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages When that day arrives They'll say, "Isn't he That real quiet guy From accountancy I knew all along He'd be something great I had pegged that guy For a special fate" Cause he's one, he's one He's one for the ages He's one, he's one He's one for the ages He's one, he's one He's one for the ages He's one, he's one He's one for the ages When the statues come Hope they look like me When the prizes come I will look to be Humble in my speech Basking in applause Soon the backlash comes I don't care, because It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one

Happiness, it's been no friend to me But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do When you're feeling like a headline on yesterday's news Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on! Loneliness has found a home in me My suitcase and guitar are my only family I've tried to need someone like they needed me I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed I don't need no lover just to get it screwed, oh yeah They don't make a bandage that's going to cover my bruise Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on! (Help, I'm falling) Pull me under, run through my veins to a place where I feel no pain (Night is calling) Be the pillow under my head cover me when I'm in your bed (Feels like I'm flying) Take me higher than I've ever been take me down and back again (Christ I'm dying) Come to me, be my disguise, open your coat, let me crawl inside Come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on, come on! Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me shelter from the rain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right Something like you Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Give me! Give me something for the pain Give me! Give me something for the blues, oh yeah Give me! Why don't you give me something for the pain, baby Give me!
