The Ballad of the Bite of '87

This is the story of where it all began
The tale that still echoes across the land
Of a boy hurt by his favorite bear
Unable to awaken from his worst nightmare

There's a legend that's been passed down the line
About the boy whose big brother hurt him for the last time
His motives are a mystery, his goal unknown
But I'm sure even he wishes he'd just left his little brother alone

This is where the saga all began
The final story is what you need to understand
The pieces finally click into place
About the boy with no saving grace

This is the tragedy passed down the line
The story that may send shivers down your spine
Of the boy on the edge between Earth and Heaven
That's just the ballad of the bite of '87
