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 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 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
