Another 24 by sixohdeuce
Another 24,will I live to see tomorrow?Why ask for more,when there is so much sorrow?It's sad we live in such a violent society.I know it's true,my eyes don't lie to me.No one knows if tomorrow is in their future,or of they will make it through the night.Someone could shoot you,or your life they take it through a fight.It's sad but we all know it's true.Life is a struggle all the way through.Your only true purpose in life is to die.So many have asked but we still don't know why?Minutes are so precious,seconds are so few.When it is your time,there is nothing you can do.All of your life and your never really in control.The earth can have my body,but sincerely LORD please take my soul.I kiss my mom on the cheek and i'm out the door.Please GOD,don't let this be my last twenty four!

Cold by Silent Siren
Cast the fears aside it's 3am I'm afraid to die,The
future is my guide I'm a servant in this great

why I cry,They've turned a blind eye they took the
allies side,For their own public pride full of satan's
lies,I'll bury my past six feet under,My head hurts
like a rolling thunder,The pain goes through my heart
& soul it was in my arms reach but beyond my
control,Forget the pain my body is cold.
