No Peace

A life once lived, now dead and gone
Someone's son reduced to no one

A cruel fate, with no escape
A cruel fate, with no escape
Visions of blood splattered pavement I can't ever erase
A cruel fate, with no escape
Even though his body's gone
I can't unsee his face

Dying at strangers feet
Bones all twisted into a bloody crumbled heap
Dying in the streets
A gruesome entrance into the arms of eternal sleep

I watched a man die in the streets
The life left his eyes as I watched his body bleed
I watched a man die in the streets
Now just a body covered up in white sheets

No peace

And just like that it's all said and done
All I know how to do, is to close the door and carry on
Unable to help, too numb to cope
There is no salvation, there is no hope
No solace in the end, just death
No comfort to be found as his soul left
Oh how I wished I could've have soothed his pain
Now he's gone and I never knew his name

I watched a man die in the streets
The life left his eyes as I watched his mangled body bleed
I watched a man die in the streets
Now just a body covered up in white sheets

No peace
