[Intro] Why hello there It's a pleasure to see you You may not remember me But we're friends of old I've been here waiting Quite a length of time I've been here waiting For you to arrive [Pre-Chorus] Now I think we can agree It's about time you woke up You've got to face The choices you made There's dirt on your hands And mud on your spade And now it's time to examine How far you've strayed [Chorus] A measure of grain For a penny of pain And a draught of beer To help stifle your fear By now you can see Where we're going from here Don't worry you're not alone Just listen to your friends scream and cheer [Verse 1] Let's sit together and examine your deeds The choices made in your hour of need You've done good things and also bad You've accomplished much with the time that you had You'll be remembered that's for sure Though people's memories are less than pure So let's delve deeper into your life And examine those years of struggle and strife [Chorus] A measure of grain For a penny of pain And a draught of beer To help stifle your fear By now you can see Where we're going from here Don't worry you're not alone Just listen to your friends scream and cheer [Verse 2] Come and see what comes after Ignore the wails and the beasts' laughter We've more pressing things to presage You've come to me at the end of an age Your path was worn through your days Your steps defined by your chosen ways Time has come to a final still So let's proceed, if you will [Chorus] A measure of grain For a penny of pain And a draught of beer To help stifle your fear By now you can see Where we're going from here Don't worry you're not alone Just listen to your friends scream and cheer [Outro] We read your deeds and review your sin At the start is where we'll begin Your life wore on and you made your choices Did you hear or silence your inner voices It seems your deeds fall across a spectrum Year after year you did select them And now, old friend, the time has come To decide your fate and what you'll become
