Live Young, Die Free |
| The distant sound of mercy ringing in my eyes |
| Far from the masses fades away |
| Closed my eyes and waited for the pain to pass |
| Recalled a little story heard today |
| Yeah, I’m feeling trapped |
| So locked away |
| Caught in a downward spiral |
| In, into the black |
| I won’t be back |
| Yeah I’ll be here a while |
| Don’t need to see, your face |
| Don’t need to hear a word you say |
| Don’t need to know, your name |
| Or why you’re here |
| Shadows of the past appear in front of me |
| Into the masses disappear |
| The sound of silence ringing for a greater good |
| To this point I can’t believe my ears |
| Yeah, coming unwrapped |
| Starting to fray |
| Walking the final mile |
| In, into the black |
| I won’t back |
| Choose to be here a while |
| Then I saw your face |
| And I heard the words you said |
| Then I recalled your name |
| And why I’m here |
| When I look into your eyes an' saw how much you cried |
| An' I had a revelation |
| The pain wouldn’t pass, the scars they would last |
| Into God’s creation |
| Blessed secrets holding me |
| Then we all closed our eyes, an' laid down and sighed |
| Live young die free |
| A distant chime of mercy ringing one last time |
| Into the masses turns to clay |
| Molded into what is now, the greater good |
| To close the story yesterday |
| Don’t need to see your face |
| Don’t need to hear a word you say |
| Don’t need to know your name |
| Or why you’re here |
| Then a child of a liar put his hands into the fire |
| Called it discontention |
| And a man with the word repeated what he heard |
| Led to mass confusion |
| Blessed secrets, agony |
| Then the child closed his eyes and laid down and died |
| Live young die free |
