[Verse 1]
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine

[Verse 2]
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine

[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow

[Verse 2]
A thousand doors, a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin

[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow

[Outro]
Tomorrow
Tomorrow begat
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
