there was a fatal crash one dark day   and on the ground there he laid   he wasn't just a victim, he was a friend of mine   and now his life's at halt now for some time   his head was crushed in every way   and the doctor said that there's no way   that he'll live now, or live through the night   now i ask God is that right   with the endless sleep and unconcious nights   stripping his mind oh, from his life   and to this day now no one knows   if he'll come or if he'll go      strap down- get a grip on your life   strap down- don't think that you won't die   strap down- don't blame this shit on me   strap down- strap down to reality      his face was ripped apart and torn to shreds   and the broken wind-sheild from his head   seeing him lying there to die   oh, it tears my stomach from inside   and to this day he's still alive   no one's sure when he'll die   he's lived longer than people thought   but now here's a lesson to be taught   pay close attention to my words   and now a story about my friend is what you've heard   so listen to me and watch what you do   because what happened to him could happen to you   so strap down.......      strap down - get a grip on your life   strap down - don't think you won't die   strap down - don't blame this shit on me   strap down - strap down to reality   (repeat 4 times)      strap down
