Every wish, every desire
Every pain that's in my heart
I blew them all away the day
I namasted myself apart

Sweating men with bulging eyes
Came in bearing lies to give
At first I was afraid to die
Now I'm scared that I might live

Stay with me
Stay with me

For the day is passed
And the evening's come
Be my companion in the way
Accept the things you cannot
And things that you can change

It'll be the way it is
This, and not some other way

In the mornings when I wake up
I'm afraid that I might die
So I try and stay awake
And I keep a watchful eye

In the fog of war, we've burned alive
The saints along with sinners
I will be with you today in paradise
If I don't come in for dinner

Stay with me
Stay with me

For the day is passed
And the evening's come
Be my companion in the way
Accept the things you cannot
And things that you can change

It'll be the way it is
This, and not some other way

I watched no one fight for nothing
Against twenty godless fiends
You could fill a man with gold
And there'd still be room for greed

So I rent a mind and borrow words
For thoughts I cannot say
This'll be the way it is
This and not some other way

This'll be the way it is
This and not some other way
