                    [Headline:] Murder, young girl killed 
Desperate shooting at Echoe`s hill 
Dreadful ending, killer died 
Evidently suicide 

A witness heard a horrifying sound 
He ran to find a woman dead and 
Lying on the ground 

Standing by her was a man 
Nervous, shaking, gun in hand 
Witness says he tried to help 
But he`d turned the weapon on himself 

His body fell across that poor young girl 
After shooting out in vain 
The witness ran to call for assistance 
A sad close to a broken love affair 

Our deeds have traveled far 
What we have been is what we are 

She wanted love forever 
But he had another plan 
He fell into an evil way 
She had to let him down 
She said I can`t love a wayward man 

She may have found a reason to forgive 
If he had only tried to change 
Was their fatal meeting prearranged? 

Had a violent struggle taken place? 
There was every sign that lead there 
Witness found a switchblade on the ground 
Was the victim unaware? 
They continued to investigate 
They found a note in the killer`s pocket 
It could have been a suicide letter 
Maybe he had lost her love 

I feel there`s only one thing left to do 
I`d sooner take my life away 
than live without losing you 

Our deeds have traveled far 
What we have been is what we are 

All that we learn this time 
(What we have been is what we are) 
Is carried beyond this life
