Would You?
Would you ever meet eye to eye with the oncoming storm and hail?
Know that you’ll never give up what you stand up for?
Or will you turn the other direction and set sail
Leave everything behind and run off I bail
Stranded on an island wondering how you failed
Leaving behind footsteps for other cowards to trail
Would you speak out your heart or be of no avail?
Join the witch hunt of lies and hide behind a veil
Deceit and falsehood put your soul up for sale
Stab yourself and keep bleeding ‘til you go pale
Forget dying like a hero and live to tell the tale
Of a guilty sanctuary until you’re old and frail
Would you face the agony of a crucifix or be the one hammering the nails?
Know that you’ll never give up what you stand up for?
Or will you turn the other direction and set sail
Leave everything behind and run off I bail
Stranded on an island wondering how you failed
Leaving behind footsteps for other cowards to trail
Would you speak out your heart or be of no avail?
Join the witch hunt of lies and hide behind a veil
Deceit and falsehood put your soul up for sale
Stab yourself and keep bleeding ‘til you go pale
Forget dying like a hero and live to tell the tale
Of a guilty sanctuary until you’re old and frail
Would you face the agony of a crucifix or be the one hammering the nails?
