Is it an act of compassion, or a crime? to end the life of a friend who wants to die once sound of body and sound of mind now plastic tubes to stay alive he finds the strength to look me in the eye (and say) Take this life from me don't make me live (please let me die) if you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me don't make me live Missionary of mercy help me die Missionary of mercy How can I be convicted for killing pain? I'm being crucified, the law provides the nails the jury must decide - wrong or right? the book spells it out in black and white you'd never understand unless you heard the cry Take this life from me don't make me live (please let me die) if you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me don't make me live Missionary of mercy help me die Missionary of mercy Please! sever the veins of my agony. Please! let tranquility cover me. One vision, you'll sentence me cripple me with a lecture on my ideals but nothing you do, nothing you say will make me repent the decision I made It was an act of compassion not a crime to end the life of my friend who begged to die once sound of body and sound of mind then plastic tubes to stay alive finding the strength to look me in the eye Take this life from me don't make me live (please let me die) if you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me don't make me live Missionary of mercy help me die Missionary of mercy

I dream, streets pathed with gold I dream, comforts when I grow old now it's daybreak, cruelly I wake alone and cold with hunger stored for another day. Treated like Pariah, no saving grace no bell around my neck, but I'm a leper to the human race just like Pariah, I have no name living in a blaze of obscurity need courage to survive the day Every hour is dark, life is scarred with degradation and scathing remarks pride just chose to hide leaving you alone with no strength to carry on, but you carry on Treated like Pariah, no saving grace no bell around my neck, but I'm a leper to the human race just like Pariah, I have no name living in a blaze of obscurity need courage to survive the day The future is in decay, no leaf for losers on the status tree on your knees you'll live and die for the eyes of society always bring you down see you as a clown Treated like Pariah, no saving grace no bell around my neck, but I'm a leper all the same just like Pariah, I have no name living in a blaze of obscurity need courage to survive the day

We strike a blow for justice after years and years of suffering at the hands of an organization bent on butchering yet enemies in our midst won't let the matter rest demanding attention as they stir the hornets nest yet anything goes - political profiting. Are you with or against us? whose side are you on don't try to tell me you're a friend you're not your mother's son With friends like you, who needs an enemy gouging from within With friends like you - who needs an enemy enemy within It's people like you undermine a nation's security wallowing in a cesspit of false morality perfidious, feeble, weak they slap your face and you'll turn the other cheek preaching from afar while our best men die for your liberty Are you with or against us? whose side are you on don't try to tell me you're a friend you're not your mother's son With friends like you, who needs an enemy gouging from within With friends like you - who needs an enemy enemy within All our so called friends seem to criticise blessed ignorance, atrocities rarely publicised we've got to shoot to kill retaliate at will fight for freedom and democracy but still we find our motives questioned by the ones on our side Are you with us or against us? whose side are you on don't try to tell me you're a friend you're not your mother's son With friends like you, who needs an enemy gouging from within With friends like you - who needs an enemy enemy within
