Great Man Down - Thunderstone

Another great man is gone

But his songs will live forever

And they’ll never die

For decades he carved

His words in our hearts

The master, the legend now lies

With honour and pride

He walked through his life

Sometimes it was far too hard

He stood like a man

Defending his land

Got beaten, rejected, got scarred

Another great man is down

Only hero around

The soldier of our times

Never listened, never cared

For the words that they said

So he paid for his crimes

These are the stories and songs

From the land of ten thousand lakes

The stories where heroes will never die

These are the stories and songs

From the land of ten thousand lakes

The stories and songs

Where the great one will always rise

Another man, brave and tall

He took care of us all

Never bent under pressure or pain

With a heart like the sun

He stood tall and wouldn’t run

Away from the wind and the rain

There are the stories and songs…

So the story goes on

And years go by

That’s for sure

Memories will live forever

And we’ll be singing along
