From the recording The Ransom
The Ransom was written by Tom Riley, a good friend of Larry and Joe's, in 2004. Joe recorded this version for a recording class he took at a local community college as his final project. Yes, it earned an A.
Lyrics
Why should I fear when evil days come?These wicked deceivers, oh God, I feel so lonesome.The ransom of life is no payment is ever enough,That he should live on to foreverAnd not see the darkness, darkness.All can see that wise men surely die.Leaving wealth to others for this soul they cannot buy.The ransom of life is no payment is ever enough,That he should live on to foreverAnd not see.The ransom of life is no payment is ever enough,That he should live on to foreverAnd not see the darkness, darkness.
