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 wont be back 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 cant believe my ears
Yeah, coming unwrapped
Starting to fray
Walking the final mile
In, into the black
I wont be back
Choose to be here awhile
Then I saw your face
And I heard the words you said
Then I recalled your name
And why I'm here
When I looked into your eyes
Saw how much you cried
I had a revelation
The pain wouldn't last
The scars they would last
Into God's creation
Blessed secrets holding me
Then we all close our eyes
Lay 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 just a 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 the child of a liar put his hands into the fire
Called it discontention
And a man with the word repeated what he heard
Lead to mass confusion
Blessed secrets agony
Then the child closed his eyes
Laid down and died
Live Young, Die Free
