Empty Hands and Broad Shoulders

All those years of blood
Sweat and tears you cried
You've got less to show
Than you have to hide
Well, lady luck and all her charms
I’ve never known
I'm just a man with empty hands and broad shoulders

You could've had a wife
Instead you made a name
The monuments you built look smaller by the day
She took you back
You kissed her lips
They were cold
You’re just a man with empty hands and broad shoulders

The brother that you mock
For knowing wrong from right
Just went off to war
He won't get out alive
He was a son
He was a friend
He was a soul
You're just a man with empty hands and broad shoulders
