Iced Earth - Anguish Of Youth Lyrics






The wind's crying softly
Tears stream down her precious cheeks
The last goodbye to those she loves
Before the final sleep
The pain is just too much
She can't even face another day
Oh, the past, it haunts her
The scars won't fade away

[Chorus:]
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to smile
She wants to live
Free from a life of despair
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to laugh
She wants to love
Free from a life of despair

A life of pain and anguish
An empty shell yearns to be free
To break out from this prison
Of flesh and blood, she lives
Just one more shot of whiskey
To chase the pills that help her sleep
Now she's one step closer
To quest for inner peace

[Chorus:]
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to smile
She wants to live
Free from a life of despair
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to laugh
She wants to love
Free from a life of despair

The figure stands above her
Upon her lifeless chest she breathes
He thrusts the soul back to her
She now begins to breathe
Awaken from this nightmare
Her body shivers and it shakes
She's forged a new perspective
The scars begin to fade

[Chorus:]
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to smile
She wants to live
Free from a life of despair
The tragedy still haunts her
The pain she cannot bear
She wants to laugh
She wants to love
Free from a life of despair

Iced Earth Anguish Of Youth Comments
  1. E.... C....

    Holy fuck yes dude!!! Amazing

  2. M.... T....

    Who was the "figure"?

    M.... T....

    Who he is isn't actually that important; the important part is that the figure was performing CPR. Thus "upon her lifeless chest he beat" and "she now begins to breathe".

  3. E.... C....

    Great vocalist stu block

  4. B.... G....

    Wow Jon, give it up you old shit cunt.

  5. M.... ....

    Whoever did the production of this album just killed the potential of its music. It sounds cold and plastic

  6. M.... U....

    Barlow was great, so was Tim 'Ripper' Owens, but Father Block is the perfect voice to compliment the genius of Father Schafer.

  7. E.... H....

    Barlow was great but Stu is a amazing fit , and Canadian eh!

  8. S.... Q....

    I like dystopia I like all iced earths albums but matt barlow is my favorite vocalist

  9. A.... M....

    oh my god i love this song

  10. J.... G....

    Ai sim!

  11. T.... C....

    Awesome tune!!! \m/

  12. A.... E....

    i love it

  13. M.... N....

    I love this song.

  14. S.... ....

    awesome song,so catchy

  15. D.... H....

    I can't decide if I like this song or not

    D.... H....

    Dillen Haywood : I think you like it ^^

    D.... H....

    Seriously? this entire album was fucking garbage.

    D.... H....

    @Big Grundo to me This was the best album since horror show

    D.... H....

    @Frank Podnar Well, I suppose we're all entitled to our opinions, I just seriously hated it, it felt drawn out and monotonous, it wasn't because of Stu either, I feel like Jon has run out of ideas.

    D.... H....

    @Big Grundo honestly it just grew on me the same way dark saga did sometimes the more you listen the more you appreciate it

  16. N.... M....

    Free from the life of dis bear!

    N.... M....

    @Nikos Markos Now I cant hear this song without thinking of bears lol

    N.... M....

    The pain she cannot bear.

    N.... M....

    hurra!! dream theater and iced earth

  17. k.... ....

    Such power in this song. love it.

  18. l.... ....

    Epic song

  19. v.... p....

    ελλαδαρα ρεεεεε

  20. F.... F....

    Best album in the last 15 years of iced earth, let's hope plagues of babylon will kick even more ass

  21. S.... ....

    You don't know what music is or how an album works.

  22. R.... W....

    you're also judging the whole album on the ballad

  23. L.... ....

    Need guitar tab for this! The only one I found is a disaster.

    Awesome song!

  24. D.... ....

    Θέλω να κλάψω

  25. D.... S....

    eeetsi!!! ICED EARTH gia pada ree!!! :D

  26. e.... m....

    best song

  27. A.... M....

    axaxaxxaxaxa file ise toooooooosooooo poli ojithimos pou katadaei astio!! ahahhahahahahah kai skizeis k apo xumor !

  28. d.... w....

    i am stricken as over haul

  29. d.... w....

    ashes to ashes

  30. R.... ....

    This song makes me think of Doll Girl from the Night Angel books.

  31. G.... ....

    H ELLADA AKOUEI ICED EARTH REEEE!!!!!

  32. b.... ....

    I was expecting something along the lines of Dark Saga, but instead, we got Horror Show mixed with Brushfires of the Mind.

  33. b.... ....

    Not a big fan of this song... sounds too much like Sons of Liberty with simple riffs and the quiet, more reflective bits. Not decrying SoL, it's just not IE enough for my taste.

  34. A.... K....

    I'd say it's their best album since Horrorshow.

  35. M.... W....

    i'm sorry, this is the first time i've listend to anything off dystopia and i'm pretty let down. Nothing to what it once was.

  36. r.... f....

    temonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  37. a.... ....

    ΑΙΣ ΝΤΕΡΘ

  38. i.... s....

    ontws eixe fash.hmoun ki egw ekei.

  39. T.... G....

    The tragedy still haunts her
    the banshee-cannon-bear!

  40. D.... N....

    ειλικρινα στο ιntro aκουγετε πολυ σαν τον Σακη τον Κουβα

  41. F.... P....

    Hahahahaahahahahahahahaahahaa ¡XD!

  42. A.... F....

    that's another iced erth song..another epic song!Stu suits very well with the band an d his voice is so powerful in every song! ICED EARTH RULES \m/

  43. I.... ....

    jeez the lyrics are sad

  44. G.... S....

    @RedPaladin i actually prefer Stu singing the songs more his style, like Ripper's and Greely's, but I think he should leave Matt's stuff alone. it's not as badass in my opinion and it, well, the performance of watching over me.....i wasn't that keen on it if i'm honest

  45. G.... S....

    @RedPaladin don't they play V as well? Isn't that why Brent always has the Vendetta mask on his drum kit which Stu wears while singing the song?

  46. m.... m....

    dude this song gives my ears an orgasm

  47. R.... ....

    @DragonforceFan73 then get the new deluxe edition of the new cd it has a demo disk with the first song of blind guardian

  48. R.... ....

    @rej1cry i feel you bro. but i dont understand why youre greek and have a computer.

  49. K.... R....

    I think this is the best song off the new album. Hope they play it March 2nd.

  50. B.... o....

    Re ante gamisou pou tha ton peis kai rouva gamidi

    @mrpbr10 The only thing great about America is its fast food...

  54. m.... ....

    America > The rest of the world.

  55. p.... ....

    @MrDante28 Απ'ο,τι ξερω ο Barlow εφυγε επειδη συγκλονιστηκε μετα το χτυπημα στους διδυμους πυργους το 2001 και αποφασισε οτι υπαρχουν πιο σημαντικα πραγματα απο το να ειναι κανεις ροκ σταρ κι ετσι αποσυρθηκε. Μετα τον επεισε ο Schaffer να συνεχισει, αλλα φαινοταν οτι απλα αυτο θα γινοταν για λιγο καιρο κι ετσι εφυγε και παλι οικειοθελως. Καπου νομιζω το διαβασα αυτο. Το γνωριζω οτι χωρις την πηγη δεν ειναι και τοσο εγκυρο, τεσπα :P Αρα πρακτικα δεν ηταν στο χερι τους να εχουμε Stu + Barlow.

  56. T.... ....

    Επιτέλους κάτι ποιοτικό από Iced Earth!!! Μου άρεσε τόσο πολύ αυτός ο δίσκος που τον πήρα σε βινύλιο!!!

  57. P.... B....

    Bela canção

  58. d.... ....

    I've yet to find an iced earth song I didn't love, Iced Earth for life!

    No matter what vocalist they've got, Iced Earth manages to pull it off each time.
    Pretty good album.

  62. T.... B....

    reminds me of all that remains

  63. m.... ....

    @ArtemisMona Πως σού'ρθε;

  75. r.... ....

    Παιδιά, είναι τραγουδάρα το συγκεκριμένο από όλες τις απόψεις. Εμένα μου θυμίζει κάτι απο "A Question of Heaven". Ξεκινάει χαλαρά και μπαίνει δυνατά μετά. Έχει πολύ ωραίο στίχο. Ωραίο σολάκι. Στη φωνή ο Stu δείχνει ότι το έχει άνετα... Είναι καινούργιος δίσκος, το ξέρω ότι θέλουμε λίγο καιρό μέχρι να μάθουμε τα τραγούδια, αλλα προσωπικα, έχει μπει στη λίστα αγαπημένων μου αυτό.. Και σήμερα στο Gagarin έγινε πανικός. Iced MotherFucking Earth ρεεεε.

  76. T.... G....

    twra st gagarin tha ginetai panikos !!

  77. P.... b....

    we love you here...in Greece...The tragedy still haunts US The pain WE cannot bear WE want to smile WE want to live Free from a life of despair...Deliver Us from the fuckin' misery that we've been through!!!! Athens and Salonica are awaiting to be frozen with your fire!

  78. s.... ....

    @ AORMETALGORE - that familiar voice is one of the back round singers used on quite a bit of IE's releases.

  79. c.... d....

    @atreyu445 ah come on man there are more ways to say you don't like it

  80. a.... ....

    o stucifer :p exei fwnara ton kserw apo tous into eternity kai exei deiksei oti einai allis klasis fwnitika kai pisteuw pws exei tairiaksei poli me to sunolo alla o barlow einai barlow opws kai o ripper stu welcome to iced earth

  81. C.... ....

    is it me or is Barlow singing some of the backing vocals on the chorus? I swear I can hear his deep baritone voice there... :S

  82. K.... ....

    @atreyu445 Troll much?

  83. p.... ....

    Pfft ... Atreyu sucks nuts .. go buy a razor and keep cutting buddy! :P

    Iced Earth are branching into new territory while upholding elements long time fans have respected. Nice.
