A little girl playing on the street corner Caught in a senseless drug war slaughter Bullet to the head Drained of lifes blood, now she's dead Cheated by death The figure in black takes your last breath Unexpected loss of life Loved ones are filled with grief and strife Velvet tried to run across the street But she didn't have, the steel monster beat Hit and killed on sight She didn't deserve such a violent plight Cheated by death The figure in black takes your last breath I thought she had nine lives People should be careful of the way they drive BREAK Lynn's flying on a plane A bomb goes off, people cry out in pain Fire and smoke everywhere She had so much to live for but life's not fair Cheated by death The figure in black takes your last breath She was one of my, best friends A friendship that last until the very end Why do we live? Only to die on earth Is life a lesson to be learned? Only to have a proper rebirth Cheated by death The figure in black takes your last breath Why do we have to die? If there is a reason I don't know why
