Solomon Grundy Verse 1 Born on a Monday beneath angry skies, Nobody was happy they all had tears in their eyes A Cold ceremony that bore a special soul, A heart with a body that couldn’t grow old. Raised through the silence and washed by the rain, Every tomorrow just looked the same. The worlds owns monster stitched out of its sin No one saw the heart of the man kept within Pre-Chorus If you looked beyond these empty eyes, You’d see a child that never survived. Chorus I’m Solomon Grundy… Don’t be afraid of me. I never chose this journey Or what the world believes. I’m Solomon Grundy… Buried, but never died Every time I close my eyes, I awake to another sunrise ──────── Verse 2 I met Christ on a Tuesday—or maybe I dreamed. Memories are much simpler than all they mean. Laughed on a Wednesday, only for a while, The kind of laughter that had no smile. Sick on a Thursday, fading away, Prayed on a Friday, but heaven turned away Dead on a Saturday… so they all say. Back on a Sunday… still……the……..same…… Pre-Chorus How many lives can one soul lose? When death keeps saying, “this is not for you.” Chorus I’m Solomon Grundy… Don’t turn your eyes away. There’s still a little piece of me That wished that I could stay. I’m Solomon Grundy… A ghost inside this skin. The saddest curse was never death… It was waking up again. ──────── Bridge I remember hands… I remember light… Someone singing softly through the night. I remember harsh words … before they slipped away… Now every memory fades to grey If there’s a God who counts the tears, He has forgotten me all these years? Does He know my name… I…..wish…..to…….sleep ──────── Final Chorus (bigger, more desperate) I’m Solomon Grundy… Please don’t pity me. Just lay me down where rivers end, And let the darkness eat I’m Solomon Grundy… No hero or innocent Just a broken man who wanted meaning Before losing everything Outro Born on a Monday… Gone every day… Searching for a sunrise… That forgets my name
