Rest in Pieces Lyrics

Who gave you the right to take away this life
and leave it bleeding on the ground
He gave you something nice,
he gave you something beautiful to look at and
marvel at for all your life
And he rises above the trees,
he's rising above you and me
He rises above the men who killed him,
rest in pieces my friend,
rest in peace

Who gave you the power of life conscience-free,
to choose another's destiny
Where did all your hopes of love and beauty go,
oblivious to magic's glow
And he rises above the trees,
he's rising above you and me
He's going above the men who killed him,
rest in pieces my friend,
rest in peace

And he rises above the trees,
he rises higher than you and me
He's going above the men who killed him,
rest in pieces my friend,
rest in peace
Who told you your life was worth more than his
You lead a dull and ignorant one
Don't you think he might have had the utmost right
to give all that he had to give

And he rises above the trees,
he rises above you and me
He rises above the men who killed him,
rest in pieces my friend,
rest in pieces my friend,
rest in pieces my friend
Rest in peace
