Song Description

sorrow of losing friends to premature death

Lyrics

there's no way to explain it so why do we try
the pain that we feel when our friends start to die
and they never did anything we haven't done
why does someone have to be the unlucky one?

so many faces they all fade with time
they served out their sentence but committed no crime
now it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
goodbye, my friend, goodbye

well, you chose your partner for one last dance
got to make it linger you'll get no second chance
got to pay the piper for your one last song
dance with the Black Angel and you're gone, yah, you're gone

Oh, Lord, set them free so we won't have to watch them die
won't you set them free so their spirits are free to fly
cuz my hearts already broken I got no more tears to cry
yah, my spirits already broken I got no more tears left to cry
