Death of a Scientist by Mull Historical Society Lyrics

And you will know me by my mistakes
I took a forest with my name
I took emotional decay
To another plane

A simple accident of fate
A quiet hero made a mistake
I'm the fall guy who fell away
I used to know a man

It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity
Love is clear and gentle
It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity
Love on a green and pleasant land
I lay down on a meadow

I used to know a man
Who burned his silly skin against the state
Who burned his silly skin against the state
And did you ever feel control
When heaven and hell became the same?
I miss my wife, I miss my kids
I used to know a man

Down at the edge of a hay field lay
Face down and peaceful on this day
A broken man his wife would say
Is the body of a man

It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity
Love is clear and gentle
It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity
Love on a green and pleasant land
I lay down on a meadow

I used to know a man
Who burned his silly skin against the state
Who burned his silly skin against the state

Oooh, Lord, my heart's on a crib
Oooh, Lord, my heart's on a crib
Oooh, Lord, my heart's on a crib
I'm ending all the grin and spin
Then throw the stones

Green and pleasant land
Lay down on a meadow

I used to be a man
Who burned his silly skin against the state

And tonight
Tonight I'll fight this life
Tonight I'll fight for life
And clocks tick and transport clucks
And blood still flows around bodies
And tonight
Tonight I'll fight for life
