[Words & music by M. Kammeyer] And so it begins, I'll search for my way Do not say goodbye, I will return someday I leave for my future covered by dim light All that I bring are the words in my mind I travel through valleys and over mountains Fearing what lurks in the dark And all that I see is sorrow and pain And innocent slain [Chorus] Why, oh tell me why must all the good die This is not right, I feel rage tonight Hate against evil and all who serve it Fear of the victims who don't deserve it Their souls are in pain Their bones remain What can I do to fight it I hate to see all the hurt Of the ones left behind I hear them coming slowly, marching feet of hordes They're bred by chaos, nurtured by hate It is their time now, and they are evil lords Someone must stand tall before it's to late The peace amongst old trees, where did it go Out here it seems oh so cold Shadows where no eyes see, I move through the leaves No one can speak to me [Chorus] Why, oh tell me why must all the good die This is not right, I feel rage tonight Hate against evil and all who serve it Fear of the victims who don't deserve it Their souls are in pain Their bones remain What can I do to fight it And I hate to see all the hurt Of the ones left behind... behind... behind [Chorus] Why, oh tell me why must all the good die This is not right, I feel rage tonight Hate against evil and all who serve it Fear of the victims who don't deserve it Their souls are in pain Their bones remain What can I do to fight it And I hate to see all the hurt Of the ones left behind
