We Died that Day
I was a phantom-------------------- V1
A shadow of myself
Only fragments
The rest up on a shelf
Until the mirror
Verified the truth
If I needed
Any other proof
We died that day--------------------- Chorus
That drunkard murdered you
He crossed the line
And killed three others too
Just coming home
From your day at school
We died that day
Victims of that fool
I have decided-------------------------- V2
To do my very best
To fight so others
Don’t have to face this test
To open eyes
In your memory
I will not quit
Till we have victory
We died that day--------------------- Chorus
That drunkard murdered you
He crossed the line
And killed three others too
Just coming home
From your day at school
We died that day
Victims of that fool
Let’s put breathalyzers----------- Bridge
Into all the cars
Of every single person
Known to frequent bars
If it don’t start
They won’t get to kill
Any innocents
That some surely will
I died that day--------------------- Chorus
That drunkard murdered you
He crossed the line
Killed three others too
Just coming home
From your day at school
We died that day
Victims of that fool
Just coming home
From your day at school
We died that day
Victims of that fool
