Anguish Of Youth Lyrics - Iced Earth

The wind's crying softly 

Tears stream down her precious cheeks 

The last goodbye to those she loves 

Before the final sleep 

The pain is just too much 

She can't even face another day 

Oh, the past, it haunts her 

The scars won't fade away 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to smile 

She wants to live 

Free from a life of despair 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to laugh 

She wants to love 

Free from a life of despair 

A life of pain and anguish 

An empty shell yearns to be free 

To break out from this prison 

Of flesh and blood, she lives 

Just one more shot of whiskey 

To chase the pills that help her sleep 

Now she's one step closer 

To quest for inner peace 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to smile 

She wants to live 

Free from a life of despair 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to laugh 

She wants to love 

Free from a life of despair 

The figure stands above her 

Upon her lifeless chest she beats 

He thrusts the soul back to her 

She now begins to breathe 

Awaken from this nightmare 

Her body shivers and it shakes 

She's forged a new perspective 

The scars begin to fade 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to smile 

She wants to live 

Free from a life of despair 

The tragedy still haunts her 

The pain she cannot bear 

She wants to laugh 

She wants to love 

Free from a life of despair
