Iced Earth - Anguish Of Youth lyrics

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 wars won't fade away (Chorus) 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 so 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 leaves Just one more shot of whiskey To chase the pills that help her sleep Now she's one step closer Her quest for inner peace (Chorus) 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 so love Free from a life of despair The figure stands above her Upon her lifeless chest he beats He draws the soul back to her She now begins to breathe Awakened from this nightmare Her body shivers and it shakes She's forged a new perspective The scars begin to fade (Chorus) 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 so love Free from a life of despair
