Melancholy Lyrics - Iced Earth

Make the sadness go away 

Come back another day 

For years I've tried to teach 

But their eyes are empty 

Empty, too, I have become 

For them I must die 

A sad and troubled race 

An ungrateful troubled place 

I see the sadness in their eyes 

Melancholy in their cries 

Devoid of all the passion 

The human spirit cannot die 

Look at the pain around me 

This is what I cry for 

Look at the pain around me 

This is what I'll die for 

Make the sadness go away 

Come back another day 

The things I've said and done 

Don't matter to anyone 

But still, you push me to see 

something I can never be 

Why am I their shattered king 

I don't mean anything 

I see the sadness in their eyes 

Melancholy in their cries 

Devoid of all the passion 

The human spirit cannot die 

Look at the pain around me 

This is what I cry for 

Look at the pain around me 

This is what I'll die for
