Death Goes On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hated while I waited for
The cold, hard, and bitter facts
Cut down in the midst
Of the prime of his life
With the swing of a mobile axe
And no one believes it
Till the crowd's all gone
And it all hits home
That everything frozen in time seems to melt
When you're all alone

[Chorus]
Way back in the daze
We were young and crazy
And we passed the time
With the crime of being lost and lazy
Tell me who's to blame
For the same old sad, sad song
As society's singing:
"Death goes on"

[Verse 2]
Two years go by with the blink of an eye
And another one gone
And as the crowd grew slimmer
Then the crowd got stronger
Then the crowd moved on
I remember the times
When we'd all be together
Just singin' out loud
In the back of my mind, the voices still echo
We sounded so proud

[Chorus]
To be part of the family
Whose roots run so deep
And we'd all be together
Raising hell till we were sound asleep
In the midst of a nightmare
That lasts all night long
As society's singin':
"Death goes on"

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Way back in the daze
We were young and crazy
And we passed the time
With the crime of being lost and lazy
Tell me who's to blame
For the same old sad, sad song
As society's singing:
"Death goes on"

To be part of the family
Whose roots run so deep
And we'd all be together
Raising hell till we were sound asleep
In the midst of a nightmare
That lasts all night long
As society's singin':
"Death goes on"
[Outro]
Death goes on
Death goes on
Death goes on
Death goes on, death goes on
