Death of a Nameless Man Lyrics

With an ear against the ground

I listen to the sound

World rest your weary head on me

With an eye against the sky

Faded as the lights

Wasting I wait for my dream

But there was something in the way

You look through me everyday

In the silence

I felt myself drown

I'll stare you in the face

Before I fade away

And the ground

He opens his mouth

Send the angels

Into the sky

Spread the news

That I was alive

Look for my name in the stones

And keep what you find

Tell me who will cry

At the death of a nameless

My suns set and gone

But I'm still holding on

By the skin of my nails

Fingers so pale

No coins across my eyes

Cause I ain't worth a dime

A soul is for sale

But no one is buying

I'll stare you in the face

Before I fade away

And the ground

He opens his mouth

So trust when I say

Before I fade away

If I had my time again

You'd remember my name

Send the angels

Into the sky

Spread the news

That I was alive

Look for my name in the stones

And keep what you find

Tell me will you cry

At the death of a nameless life

In came the light

The past is burning bright

I'm closing my eyes

I still see you staring back at me

Till the image flickers out of sight
