I hear the silent cry I am the only one who hears Everytime there is silence His fear floods my ears I know he is ok I know i didn't die But the fear of almost leaving them makes me die inside What would my wife do Raising our son by herself With a husband in a grave Or my ashes on a shelf My son too young to remember Having a loving father in his life Only some picture to look at And stories from my wife I have never feared death Loved danger all my life But now it's not death that scares It's leaving my child and wife

I hear him cry
We had stopped at Bennys I got him some fries A nice day for a drive not a cloud in the sky We got in the truck I checked his seat twice I’m forever greatful for my wifes advice The diesel engine purred as I shifted gears To my grandmas house no thoughts of fear I hear a bang and in a flash We rolled and rolled crash and bash I count the hits one two three windows exploding around me I swing out the door hung from my belt We hit dirt and highway the hardest ive felt Time seemed to pause or maybe just slow With the earths every trouncing blow Upside-down truck upon my head How the **** am I not dead Around my ribs i feel the steels bite The crash is over but now is the fight My son is alive I can hear him cry He is to young to remember goodbye I must get to him i must pull him out Steel digging deeper as i struggle about My breath is laborious I’m struggling for air The pain is hellish too atrocious to bear Then she laid on the road infront of me A woman who was scared but strong for me I coughed up blood and gasped for air She squeezed my hand and said a prayer Blood flowed and filled my eyes and ears The world turned red as blood met tears Slowly a silance began to loom Another sign of an ominous doom She screamed the trucks are coming they are on their way Oh lord oh lord don’t take this man away You stay with me you stay with your son You can’t leave now his lifes just begun My body shudders as it gasps a wheeze I feel a cold chill i hoped was a breeze It has been too long since I’ve taken a breath What lays ahead life after death.

The feel of death
We had stopped at Bennys I got him some fries A nice day for a drive not a cloud in the sky We got in the truck I checked his seat twice I’m forever greatful for my wifes advice The diesel engine purred as I shifted gears To my grandmas house no thoughts of fear I hear a bang and in a flash We rolled and rolled crash and bash I count the hits one two three windows exploding around me I swing out the door hung from my belt We hit dirt and highway the hardest ive felt Time seemed to pause or maybe just slow With the earths every trouncing blow Upside-down truck upon my head How the **** am I not dead Around my ribs i feel the steels bite The crash is over but now is the fight My son is alive I can hear him cry He is to young to remember goodbye I must get to him i must pull him out Steel digging deeper as i struggle about My breath is laborious I’m struggling for air The pain is hellish too atrocious to bear Then she laid on the road infront of me A woman who was scared but strong for me I coughed up blood and gasped for air She squeezed my hand and said a prayer Blood flowed and filled my eyes and ears The world turned red as blood met tears Slowly a silance began to loom Another sign of an ominous doom She screamed the trucks are coming they are on their way Oh lord oh lord don’t take this man away You stay with me you stay with your son You can’t leave now his lifes just begun My body shudders as it gasps a wheeze I feel a cold chill i hoped was a breeze It has been too long since I’ve taken a breath What lays ahead life after death.
