The distant sound of mercy
Closed my eyes and waited for the pain to pass
Ringing in my eyes
Far from the masses fades away
Recalled a little story
Heard today
So locked away
Yeah, I'm feeling trapped
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
Into the masses disappear
Appear in front of me
The sound of silence
Ringing for a greater good
Yeah, coming unwrapped
To this point I cant believe my ears
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
Then I recalled your name
And I heard the words you said
When I looked into your eyes
And why I'm here
Saw how much you cried
The pain wouldn't last
I had a revelation
Into God's creation
The scars they would last
Blessed secrets holding me
Then we all close our eyes
Lay down and sighed
Live young, Die Free
Ringing one last time
A distant chime of mercy
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
Blessed secrets agony
Lead to mass confusion
Laid down and died
Then the child closed his eyes
Live Young, Die Free
