When The Good Die Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was so blind, led the life of a sinner
and livin the life was taken its toll
I look in my eyes - it's hell's invitation
i realize i gave up my soul
Are we so blind can't you see that we're doin'
a child has its innocense - but never its day
If the good die young we're gonna live forever
heaven and earth, couldn't stand in our way
if the good die young we're gonna live forever
and that's the price we're gonna pay
Searchin' for truth in a sea of deception
find only the face of a child that's in pain
Another soul in a world of damnation
i see myself and the world ain't far behind
How do we stop the wheels of destruction
the heaven we're takin is the hell that we're walkin'
