[Verse 1]
I am a fool and a mighty man
The hearts of men tremble in my hand
I walk the line and I'm led astray
And now it's gone, gone, gone, it's gone away
[Verse 2]
You wear the collar, you pull the load
You still have miles of empty road
And should you stop, she rolls on by
'Cause now she's gone, gone, gone before your eyes
[Verse 3]
I breathed the fire, I took the oath
I gathered riches in the undergrowth
I took my brother for his last dime
And now it's gone, gone, gone for the rest of time
[Chorus 1]
So here I stand, no place to turn
The bridge behind is on the burn
I'm unforgiving, I wear disdain
And now it's gone, gone, gone, I can't remain
[Verse 4]
I'm left to wander the barren track
I'll sell my sorrow, then steal it back
Yes, I'm a fool and a mighty man
And I'll be gone, gone, gone, I can promise that
[Chorus 2]
Here I stand, no place to turn
The bridge behind is on the burn
I'm unforgiving, I wear disdain
'Cause now it's gone, gone, gone, it's gone away
[Outro]
Yeah, it's gone, gone, gone, it's gone away
