Verse
Em D
Once upon a time my existence
Am B7 Em
Was defined by ambition and trade
G
Now it’s gone just like this
Bm D
The remnants of the exodus
C Am Em
At a loss, all alone and afraid
Asus2 Em
The fire has left me long ago
C G D
Once I was bristlin and brave
C
Now I’m destined to wither
G Em
On an errand of fools
Am B7 G D
And to lie in a mariners grave, yeah

I was worn with the stress

And the weight of progress

Comatose, dark & still

Bave the means but lost the will
C Am Em
To take the fight to imposing ways
Chorus

Now I’m destined to wither

On an errand of fools

And to lie in a mariners grave, Bey-ey
