We were friends when you were pure. Times have changed; now I'm not sure. You caved in and embraced temptation; Ethics changed with the situation. Free-falling from the arms of grace To oblivion's resting place. Your chemi-crutch beat you to the floor. Another life is no more. You gave in--and followed the crowd. You gave in--and you fell down. You had a problem and it called for help. What a mess you made of yourself. Who were your friends that you hung around? Their brother's blood cries up from the ground. I'll never back down from the vow that I made To call back the sheep that have strayed. I'll stand for truth no matter what they say, And show my brothers a better way.
