Carry on Wayward Son Songtext
von Anthrax

Carry on, my wayward son
There′ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes can see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind can think, I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I′m dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more


Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
But it surely means that I don′t know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I′m like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don′t you cry no more

Go

(Carry on) you will always remember
(Carry on) nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on, my wayward son
There′ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest

(Don't you cry)
Don′t you cry no more

No more
