The Dead Never Cry

Angels may die

But they can still fly

Reach for the sky

You and I

We will survive

With our heads held high

This is why

The dead never cry

Make good the sacrifice

Battle for dear life

Don't fear the knife

Don't fear the strike

We are the light

Crept into sight

This is why

The dead never cry

Fight with all your might

It will last through the night

Look it in the eye

The beast that's inside

It's worth while

For the angels who die

This is why

The dead never cry

We'll say our goodbyes

At the ocean tide

In heaven we'll be

The dead who don't cry
