November 10th, a cold dark night.
You could feel that something wasn't right.
That night many hearts did cry.
When we learned we had to say goodbye.

All embraced under one common song.
The body is dead, but life lives on.
(Your body is dead, but your soul doesn't end.)
The body is dead, but life lives on.

Goodbye Stephen.
Goodbye you friend.
You were so young.
You were so young.
Goodbye Stephen.
Goodbye you friend.
You were so young.

The cars lined the streets, as it was coming to an end.
The sun shined so brightly, the day we burried our friend.

All embraced under one common song.
The body is dead, but life lives on.
(Your body is dead, but your soul doesn't end.)
The body is dead, but life lives on.

Goodbye Stephen.
Goodbye you friend.
You were so young.
You were so young.
Goodbye Stephen.
Goodbye you friend.
You were so young.
You were so young.

Losing in the fall.
Lost innocence came down.
An 18 year old boy was burried in the ground.
A family's broken hearts, his friend's streaming tears.
The peace found in death, the living's growing fear.
Of eternal darkness, or is it spiritual light coming to terms with death?
On the darkest night.
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend, a mother lost a son, but Stephen's soul will never end.

    General Comment:Well, yes the meaning in this song is pretty straight-forward. This song sorta describes the situation here right now, one of my close friends was hit by a car in June, he didn't even finish grade 9 :\ I think this is one of their best songs though.

    General Comment:This was the first song I'd ever heard by Senses Fail. After the first play I was hooked.
    I had truely connected to this song because on Novemer 28th my cousin Steven died in a car accident. He was my best friend and my life felt over when he left. A friend from school heard the song and played it for me since it reminded him of me. And my life was in that song. We may have lost him but in a way he's always going to be with us.
