(part 2 of 2) Where the Sky Is Black, and the Cold Wind Blows...
A new chance has blossomed
Til the police pull up
She ain't feelin' too awesome
And her mind is made up
Chance to confess
To drop to her knees
But she's under all this stress
And she runs with the breeze
With a click and a blast
She screams her last breath
Chance for redemption at last
But she still chose death
Not a single angel sings
As she walks up to the gate
She wonders if she'll get wings
Or if damnation is her fate
Sex, Drugs, and Crime have one goal
And messing with that could cost you your soul
All the mourners stand back
As she's buried with a rose
Where the sky is black
And the cold wind blows...
So if life hands you trouble
You have to think twice
Or you could die bleeding in the rubbel
Payin' your high price
You could have a knife pulled on you
Or a bullet in the head
But we all know one thing is true
You could end up dead
You better remember this girl
All the s*** she went through
Don't let your life unfurl
Or your soul could be due
Life comes with pain
And life comes with tears
But don't hop on that train
To run away from your fears
Remember this crazy train
Is on a rickety track
And once you enter the wrong lane
There ain't no turnin' back
I know this 'cause I've walked on the path
I held this girls hand in the dreams I once had
Now I stand back looking at the aftermath
I'm lucky I lived, but it's hard to say I didn't like doin' the bad
Sex, Drugs, and Crime have one goal
And messing with that could cost you your soul
One of these days you might need to think back
To this little girl's last night of woe
Where the sky is black
And the cold wind blows...
