You should have seen it How they tore them down Lined him up against the wall And they shot his body down You would not believe it There were tears in his eye His heart was broken They would not listen All was well He is gone now You should have seen it There was nothing there Just an empty shell I would not believe that This would pass He is gone now Alas He is gone now Alas He is gone now Alas
And like the soldier he is born to fight He see the wisdom of the ways of night He knows he has to seek another word For the brave are the lovers of the ones he heard He'll let the Angel Into the night His heart is broken He knows he fights He sensed the ways of a monster Walking through another fire He looks and listens You see him now Silver tongued and knows it now And the words of wisdom He knows them well He calls it all a cause to rebel And like the demon that knows us all He fights the fight He fights to fall And though he knows he goes He held his hand in the fire
Don't let him slip away Don't let him slip away There is a demon in his eye And he know that he has to, ya, oh ya Don't let him slip away Don't let it slip away
Like a heart and a soul in the dungeons He knows to drive away 'N like a demon he knows he lives within the fire 'N like a demon he knows he lives within the fire
They wouldn't listen You should have seen it How they tore him down He was a bright spirit Burned down They would not listen Just to see it pass You would not believe it Oh no, alas I wish I'd seen them And told them now I get so broke up I get so broke up
They would not listen To a word he said And now he plays the blues ... into the fire Like a demon he's into the fire But what we tell him Lost his way He's told them. He's broken He's captured. He knows it He sees it's all in vain
He's a champion She's at the wheel And like the King in the story Ends up getting the boy, I feel The killer's on the side street There was not a drop of glee Now's a killer on the highway And I think I'm insane They say there is no reason To swallow tears She jumps out the back door Says "Oh my God it's him" He calls to the innocent Have mercy, mercy on me Then the guilty come in And let him free
He rises to the ocassion I got it. I got right A transvestite Space I should try to warn him It's an institution out there Society is broke down Nobody cares They do not listen
To fools like us In God and Country They trust that
Like the freedom fighters of old They are broken Like the wicked wanted Left spoken Like the houses after the war They are broken Crazy. Crazy. This from you
The wicked are wanted The hungry are daunted Children are flaunted And I go undaunted
