Death Loves Youth

Levellers

    Continues after the ad

    I heard today the saddest words
    Another friend has gone from this world
    A simple life he had but the bitter truth
    Is the good die young and the death loves youth

    And although I wish with all my soul
    There can be no better goal
    For us to shed all that bitter fruit
    The good die young and death loves youth

    And far away they're making plans
    To steal from this world yet another man
    With one word here and another there
    They've prepared a grave for us to share

    Continues after the ad

    How am I to take revenge
    Upon a world that seems to never end
    Taking all the sweetest souls
    If I don't stop now I'll never know

    So why is it that the good ones die
    When there's plenty left as would spit in your eye
    They seem to live forever on
    But the death loves youth and the good die young

    Don't you laugh and don't you cry
    Don't you dare spit in my eye
    Before me now I have the final proof
    That the good die young and the death loves youth
