Death
Symbolic
[Verse 1]
I don't mean to dwell
But I can't help myself
When I feel the vibe
And taste a memory
Of a time in life
When years seemed to stand still

[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift
Of precious memories
In need of a fix
Called innocence

[Chorus]
When did it begin
The change to come was
Undetectable
The open wounds expose
The importance of our innocence
A high that can never
Be bought or sold

[Post-Chorus]
Symbolic acts
So vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible
[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]

[Guitar Solo: Bobby Koelble]

[Bridge]
Savor what you feel and what you see
Things that may not seem important now
But may be tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight

[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift
Of precious memories
In need of a fix
Called innocence

[Chorus]
When did it begin
The change to come was
Undetectable
The open wounds expose
The importance of our innocence
A high that can never
Be bought or sold
[Post-Chorus]
Symbolic acts
So vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible
