for those who have lost there lives, needlessly

The Price They Paid

Life's too cruel, with decisions made
A thousand chances to say no, but he said yes
The road from so long ago, he's gone off
And the youngest went to an undying rest

It's one that no one can wake up from
They're gone over what can't be undone
There's no words to say the pain inside
And they'll never wake up to see the sun

Chorus
Everything I know, broken just like that
I don't know why this mistake was made
Tears were cried but it's just so hard
When you know about the price they paid

Chances are he didn't think about it
But when someone goes so wrong, what's wrong
We can live and let die but no reason why
If only we could take it away but they're gone

There's nothing that comes close to this
When one life goes, it's hard enough
But so many people, so many people
Will find the good life up above

Broken dreams, endless screams to fill the night
And never again will they be held so close

Chorus
Everything I know, broken just like that
I don't know why this mistake was made
Tears were cried but it's just so hard
When you know about the price they paid
