Overkill – Live Young, Die Free

Overkill – Live Young, Die Free Lyrics

Artist: Overkill
Song: 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

I’m feeling trapped, so locked away
Caught in a downward spiral
In, into the black, I won’t be back
Yeah, I’ll be here a while

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 a while
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 I saw how much you cried

And 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
I 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
And they called it discontention
And a man with the word repeated what he heard

And it led to mass confusion
Blessed secrets agony
Then the child closed his eyes and laid down and died
Live young, die free
