The Darkest Of Men de Monologue

How very much I have tried my best To give you the good life In spite of all I’ve tried I must bring you dark times Allow this to be done And allow us to get by with this Children: Carve out your splinters Let no man take your life I’ll let no harm come To my children All young men know I weep for all In times of joy We stood as one Now is the time To go is one No man takes my life from me I lay my life down I’m going to lay down my burdens Down by the riverside
