TITLE: Blasphemous Rumours
Lyrics
Girl of 16, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
{Refrain}
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
{Refrain}
Girl of 18, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer's sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye
{Repeat refrain to fade}
