- Transcription is exactly "On a cold April morning</br>
A touch of snow</br>
An evil wind was blowing </br>
That chilled right to the bone</br>
A young man woke this morning</br>
His heart had turned to stone</br>
He selfishly cried today I will die</br>
But I will not go alone</br>
</br>
The serenity of Blacksburg was about to come undone</br>
Those demons in this young man's head had him on the run</br>
For this young disturbed man</br>
Who’s heart had turned to stone</br>
Took the innocence of Blacksburg on this cold, cold April morn'</br>
</br>
Blacksburg we love you</br>
You’re in our thoughts and prayers</br>
And in your darkest hour the world prays and cares</br>
Virginia Tech, your southern pride, it will not be denied</br>
God has his arms around those angels</br>
Proudly by his side</br>
</br>
God has laid his hands upon you</br>
And taught you to be strong</br>
With a loving God by your side</br>
Hokie pride will carry on</br>
Virginia Tech we love you</br>
And the world now knows your name</br>
It offers prayers and comfort </br>
To help you heal your pain</br>
</br>
Well that Hokie nation grows ever stronger, with each passing day</br>
Because your present tears, will last for years and years</br>
All those fallen angels we have lost today</br>"
