You've been taken from us
A shock to us all
We refuse to believe it's true
Only the good die young, they say
And this time the good was you
What cruel fate has been brought
Why is is bestowed upon you?
Why is it you we bury
while your attacker's blood runs blue
If this is your destiny
this cruel hand you've been dealt
One can only hope
the same cards go to him
he who has caused this grief
For your mother, for your brothers
All who love & pray for you
Our hearts are heavy on this day
And we believe it when we say
Only the good die young
