God Rest the Youth Lyrics

He was the high school's dead beat

All the kids called him the town freak

Had a face full of scars from his Daddy

Had a heart full of rage and envy

He'll burn down their world of fantasy

Turn their perfect lives to misery

Won't stop until he makes them bleed

How 'bout the prom king and queen? Yeah

They strayed far from lover's lane

Now it's tears, blood and shallow graves

Yeah, not much of them remains

A lock of hair and a promise ring, so

God rest the youth

Because a killer's on the loose

And he's gonna see it through

So God Rest the Youth

Well his hunger grows in threes

It feeds his Christ mockery

All bodies missing teeth

The bread of life, they can't eat, yeah

Three found floating in the creek

Another three left hanging in a hickory

Much too close to Main Street

So they know they better not sleep, yeah

God rest the youth

Because a killer's on the loose

And he's gonna see it through

So God Rest the Youth

God rest the youth

Because a killer's on the loose

And he's gonna speak his truth

So God Rest the Youth

You can't tame the beast

Whose ready for his feast

He's got his eye on something sweet

Like the daughter of the Police Chief

A delicious treat, carved up like a turkey

They'll search the woods for weeks and weeks and weeks

Yeah

God rest the youth

Because a killer's on the loose

And he's gonna see it through

So God Rest the Youth

God rest the youth

Because a killer's on the loose

And he's gonna speak his truth

So God Rest the Youth
