What Price Lyrics - Dokken

(dokken, brown, pilson) 

Picture yourself in a river drowning inside your heart 

Finding there is no tomorrow only this place that you are 

That you are alone in your darkness let your spirit go 

When judgement comes it'll lay by the side of the road 

By the road 

Leaving all the worlds behind it seems so vain to me 

Think' bout the past I only see my broken youth 

Locked inside a world where only liars seem to live 

Not a chance for happiness 

His mother's checkered past 

Psychologically induced by all the things he'd seen 

What the hell is going on inside

Chorus 

Thou shall not give unto life without love 

What price for life 

For ye shall open the scar of the wound 

What price for truth 

Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind 

What price for youth 

Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom 

I can see the visions it's emitting from you mind 

Dig another grave so I can bury you alive 

You're a poison ocean that's been running through the rye 

What the hell is going on inside 

What price for life 

What price for truth 

What price for youth 

Chorus

Schizophrenic symptoms of a problem in your past 

Handed down to newborn generations to be cast 

Take your friend's emotions and dissolve it with a lie 

Put your plague to rest when you fall down and f**king die 

And the mother cried 

And the child cried 

And the father replied 

I guess I went to far 

I guess I went to far 

I guess I went to far 

Then he heard a voice and it said 

"now it's time to go, your soul is getting cold 

I'm gonna leave your spirit dead by the side of the road" 

Still the child cried on and on
