THE SACRIFICE
This fiery beast threatens our lives Once again we must struggle to survive First hunted by man as we roam the earth Doesn't our life have any worth?
When will the games of man end? Why can't humans comprehend? That we are mere creatures on this land Struggling to survive as God planned
Cornered and feeling completely alone Wishing our home were made of stone Could nothing penetrate it then? I fear we will never be safe again
So I shed a tear for man today In hopes that he will find his way More tears I shed for you and me And for our friends that death will see
So while we bide our time and pray And wait for God to light our way We know we must pay the price This time our lives are the sacrifice
