I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still
Verse 2:
There can be bad blood in all I can see -- It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel -- As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill

Verse 3:
I got my own way to go and now I want -- To take your minds
I believe if you could see -- The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be -- A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still
