Five Iron Frenzy The Untimely Death Of Brad Lyrics

The Untimely Death Of Brad Lyrics

Here is the tale, it`s spoken word-for-word, 
it may be abominable, but, yes it must be heard. 
Nauseating at first, you can expect the worst, 
so listen closely, as the plot unfolds... 

I might stretch the truth, may be a little lie, 
there was a boy named Brad, 
he played trumpet, and he died. 
Too young for him to cease, 
Why? We haven`t got a clue, 
It`s on the internet, so then it must be true. 

The untimely death of Brad, 
how sad it must have been. 
If you see him anywhere, 
remember to console him. 

I curse the day, I ever met the boy, 
Only the good die young, they say. 
The details of his death are vague 
unbelievable it seems,
as if his passing was only a dream. 
Catastrophe, calamity,
what will we tell his mother now? 
Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap, 
I just heard that their band is breaking up. 
I hear his trumpet, his voice rings in my ears, 
it sometimes seems he`s standing very near. 
I don`t believe in ghosts, 
I`ve never seen one, 
but isn`t the trumpet playing haunting on this album? 

A day that lives in infamy, 
in horror we behold, his passing, 
his memory, but the truth must be told.
