            Death Of A 
            Cynic | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            And the cynic dies today | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            A hapless victim we can't save | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            He scoffed and sneered his life 
            away | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Throwing stones and digging graves | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            He don't know where to go | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            And their shovels pierce the ground | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            As he watches through a wall of 
            stone | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Fences fade to rust | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Headstones and epitaphs fly to dust | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            He don’t know where to go | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Driving him into the ground | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            And the family gathers 'round | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            And puts the cynic in the cold, 
            cold ground | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            With words he couldn't say | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            His heart fills with sadness as 
            they drive away | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
              | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Forgive forget about  | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Forgive forget about it anyway | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Forgive forget about | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            Forget about the things he couldn't 
            say | 
              | 
          
          
            |   |

            |   | 
            
            I can't forget about the things he 
            couldn't say | 
              | 
          
          
            |   | 
            
            I can't forgive all of the things 
            we couldn't say | 
              |

            Driving him into the ground |
