- Genre:Acoustic
- Year of Release:2023
Lyrics
As age turns time into wisdom
The past returns once again
A haunting memory for those who remember
The youth is spent
Making us wonder where it went
The anger and passion that drove the young man
Becomes the lonesome bitterness left
The man who thought he was wise
Only ever turned out to be a fool
Brought up in a school but lessons lost to the years
He looks back on his time and regrets
The hatred and bitterness brought by one's mistakes
Telling those who became part of his vice
Could be free if they took his advice
The wise man he is not, taken by a thought
The fool he was already
Returns and keeps him steady
The man that was wise dies
And the fool gains from lies
The knowledge gone from his mind
To this day the wise fool remains the same
