Taking your advise in mind, ive made a few changes to this song.. Lemme know what you guys think (even if it is "dont give up your day job" lol)
Ive put astrixes at most of the changes

[Verse 1]
An old man walks the road
Where a young boy once had strode
But he just begins to see
Just who he used to be

*Cause he couldn’t see the way
For the light could not be seen
Not knowing the safest way
Or where to find the means


[Chorus]
All the thoughts he cannot keep
Though the cold still burns him deep
In the darkness of the night

Still he carries on the fight (this line in the chorus changes each time)


[Verse 2]
But all he keeps inside
What he’s got, for all these bribes
Isn’t there for you to see
What is left that shall not be

For a man who paid the price
Through the glimmer of the night
With another roll of the dice
He sees this, his one last right*


[Chorus]
Can he still carry on the fight?

[Verse 3]
The old man begins to crawl
Where once he had stood tall
A proud man used to stand
A man who stood so grand *

The strongest man that ever stood
Through all that seamed to be true *
That never did much good *
Standing in this endless queue



[Chorus]
Still he carries on the fight

[Verse 4]
Now through the light he sees
He’s not all that he could be
And as the fog lifts high
He knows the end is nigh

While his clothes turn white *
When he nears upon the gate *
He walks towards the light *
And he comes to see his fate *


[Chorus]
He finally lies among the light
