Death Goes On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hated while I waited for The cold, hard, and bitter facts Cut down in the midst Of the prime of his life With the swing of a mobile axe And no one believes it Till the crowd's all gone And it all hits home That everything frozen in time seems to melt When you're all alone [Chorus] Way back in the daze We were young and crazy And we passed the time With the crime of being lost and lazy Tell me who's to blame For the same old sad, sad song As society's singing: "Death goes on" [Verse 2] Two years go by with the blink of an eye And another one gone And as the crowd grew slimmer Then the crowd got stronger Then the crowd moved on I remember the times When we'd all be together Just singin' out loud In the back of my mind, the voices still echo We sounded so proud [Chorus] To be part of the family Whose roots run so deep And we'd all be together Raising hell till we were sound asleep In the midst of a nightmare That lasts all night long As society's singin': "Death goes on" [Solo] [Chorus] Way back in the daze We were young and crazy And we passed the time With the crime of being lost and lazy Tell me who's to blame For the same old sad, sad song As society's singing: "Death goes on" To be part of the family Whose roots run so deep And we'd all be together Raising hell till we were sound asleep In the midst of a nightmare That lasts all night long As society's singin': "Death goes on" [Outro] Death goes on Death goes on Death goes on Death goes on, death goes on
