Anguish of Youth - Iced Earth

The wind's crying softly

Tears stream down her precious cheeks

The last goodbye to those she loves

Before the final sleep

The pain is just too much

She can't even face another day

Oh the past it haunts her

The scars won't fade away

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to smile

She wants to live

Free from a life of despair

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to laugh

She wants to love

Free from a life of despair

A life of pain and anguish

An empty shell yearns to be free

To break out from this prison

Of flesh and blood she lives

Just one more shot of whiskey

To chase the pills that help her sleep

Now she's one step closer

To quest for inner peace

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to smile

She wants to live

Free from a life of despair

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to laugh

She wants to love

Free from a life of despair

The figure stands above her

Upon her lifeless chest she beats

He thrusts the soul back to her

She now begins to breathe

Awaken from this nightmare

Her body shivers and it shakes

She's forged a new perspective

The scars begin to fade

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to smile

She wants to live

Free from a life of despair

The tragedy still haunts her

The pain she cannot bear

She wants to laugh

She wants to love

Free from a life of despair
