The early deaths Friends full of life, Passion to equal the sun Left before they’re lives had truly begun It was the design of their decisions that did them in Failed to heed the signs and learn any lessons Their fear and hate obscured all blessings They slept the all too familiar dream of life When you don’t play the game you must awaken and get right For this game board has many waiting to roll the dice The winners awake without tombstones and cries They heeded the lessons and ignored the lies What once was a game board turns into a blank canvas This is where the eternal life dances

The Early Deaths
The early deaths Friends full of life, Passion to equal the sun Left before they’re lives had truly begun It was the design of their decisions that did them in Failed to heed the signs and learn any lessons Their fear and hate obscured all blessings They slept the all too familiar dream of life When you don’t play the game you must awaken and get right For this game board has many waiting to roll the dice The winners awake without tombstones and cries They heeded the lessons and ignored the lies What once was a game board turns into a blank canvas This is where the eternal life dances
