Dokken - What Price lyrics

rate me

(Dokken, Brown, Pilson)

Picture yourself in a river drowning inside your heart

Finding there is no tomorrow only this place that you are

That you are alone in your darkness let your spirit go

When judgement comes it'll lay by the side of the road

By the road

Leaving all the worlds behind it seems so vain to me

Think' bout the past I only see my broken youth

Locked inside a world where only liars seem to live

Not a chance for happiness

His mother's checkered past

Psychologically induced by all the things he'd seen

What the hell is going on inside

Chorus

Thou shall not give unto life without love

What price for life

For ye shall open the scar of the wound

What price for truth

Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind

What price for youth

Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom

I can see the visions it's emitting from you mind

Dig another grave so I can bury you alive

You're a poison ocean that's been running through the rye

What the hell is going on inside

What price for life

What price for truth

What price for youth

Chorus

Schizophrenic symptoms of a problem in your past

Handed down to newborn generations to be cast

Take your friend's emotions and dissolve it with a lie

Put your plague to rest when you fall down and fucking die

And the mother cried

And the child cried

And the father replied

I guess I went to far

I guess I went to far

I guess I went to far

Then he heard a voice and it said

"Now it's time to go, your soul is getting cold

I'm gonna leave your spirit dead by the side of the road"

Still the child cried on and on
