"Requiem For Youth" lyrics
"Requiem For Youth"
My life's been abused and my mind is confused
Best must have passed by
So now I must die
Writing these words now, finding it hard
To tell you my problems, you'll just disregard
Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah
Love, it is something, could never understand
Alcohol, it seems now is all I demand
Deeper and deeper, depression set in
You don't understand now the way I have been
Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah
You say you'll pull through
You don't really care
To you I am scum
Just a flea in your hair
He pays you no money
The boss wants it all
Oh, answer him back
Redundant you fall, yeah
Redundant you fall
Oh, "Go on" they say now through rough and grim
They don't understand the state I am in
Oh, I'm lonely and cold now, got scars on my wrist
I know if I die I would not be missed
Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah
Been on my own now, I stop day and night
Or out on the street I get into a fight
Sorry for myself, yeah, maybe it's true
I'm cooped up in my room with nothing to do
Yeah
Now I'm unemployed
I blame it on them, but I cannot win
Holding the knife now to plunge in my chest
I ain't got the guts, maybe it's best

Into a well of truths, of cold and dim repose
I craved to be as high as the pillowy clouds
To walk amongst the tall, who used to look back down and frown

Anvil - "Motormount" You've tried them all from big to small
But no one's turned your crank
You're here tonight to get done right

Been played by young and old for oh so many years
Can you tell me honestly you've never been a pawn?

Candlemass - "Dark Are The Veils Of Death" Death is present the candle has burned out
The scythe is raised he's eager to reap

We better do the best we can
We're glad you came to thrash and see
Our raw attack of pure energy
