Fire In Pain

You Gave In

Fire In Pain


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.
