lyrics

Quentin he was 28
by the time he realized
his much loved sister was no saint.
Born and raised down deep proud South
couldn´t help but blame
his own fault in Caddy´s shame.

Seek from father some advice
getting round the fact
he long saved for scotch his faith.
As for mother none them child
worth even the try
since his brother Ben went wrong.

Quentin reached his edge
as the mighty river rages
sick as was of fight for righteous.
Wanna rest for once and all
from the sound and the fury
could no found no better jury.

“This whole family as sick as doomed,
expect no less than ruin,
better burn it to the ground”.
No indulgence keept within,
black old maid has long forseen
rise and fall of Compson´s, keen.

Half the man he wished to be,
lacked the courage to face it all,
seeks the righteous path no more.

Quentin reached his edge
as the mighty river rages,
sick as was of fight for righteous.
Wanna rest for once and all
from the sound and the fury,
could no found no better jury.
It ain´t no righteous path,
no proud that comes untainted,
wasted as such for Compson´s glory
Wanna rest for once and all
from the sound and the fury,
could no found no better jury.
