[Acoustic Guitar Intro] [Melancholic, Soft] [Verse 1] Two boys playing in the light of day Perched in that Weeping Willow fort Pretending as kings in their own royal court For them it was just another day at play [Verse 2] A strangely quiet time in the park Mid afternoon and nowhere near dark Boy scouts would never burn down a tree But they had a book of matches you see [Pre-Chorus] [Build Tension] [Acoustic strumming intensifies] Startled they were by the approach of a man They jumped right up, and almost bolted and ran He held up a badge and a card of deep red Park Police, you're in trouble he said [Chorus] [Explosive Heavy Rock] [Distorted Guitars, Heavy Drums] A young child's life so precious and sweet Playing away the day in a place so serene No thoughts of a creature that is vile and mean They wish to this day, to have had feet and minds more fleet [Verse 3] [Drop to Acoustic] [Subdued, Sad] I will take that matchbook and it's off to jail The two little boys began to wail Follow me now or you'll be in more trouble No time to think, it was just move on the double [Pre-Chorus] [Build Tension] The boys were frightened but could never have thought As he led them astray he said I have a better way One started to run away, he grabbed and they fought He was dragged into a thicket, …oh how they wish to forget what happened that day [Chorus] [Explosive Heavy Rock] [Maximum Emotional Intensity] A young child's life so precious and sweet Playing away the day in a place so serene No thoughts of a creature so vile and mean They wish to this day, to have had feet and minds more fleet [Outro] [Music fades to solo acoustic guitar] The fear led to silence, which has been kept until today [Fade Out] [End]
