[Verse 1]
Young life, too young
Whose eyes are choking
Can't rest, can't sleep
For dreams that set you falling
Don't feel the hunger
Can't drink no holy water
No light in these eyes
No place for dreams at all tonight

[Verse 2]
When the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that holds the knife
And the knife that cuts the cable
Kills the spark that feeds the life

[Chorus]
No grave could be deep enough
Down to Hell if we were able
The veil of life was pushed aside
By the hand that rocks the cradle

[Verse 3]
The oath you take is sacred
To save, not steal a life
Like the ending of the sweetest soul
That looked through human eyes
[Chorus]
No grave could be deep enough
Down to Hell if we were able
The veil of life was pushed aside
By the hand that rocks the cradle, yeah

[Verse 1]
Young life, too young
Whose eyes are choking
Can't rest, can't sleep
For dreams that set you falling
Don't feel the hunger
Can't drink no holy water
No light in these eyes
No place for dreams at all tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah

[Outro]
It's the hand that rocks the cradle
It's the hand that steals the life
It's the hand that rocks the cradle
It's the hand that steals the life...
