Pariah - Missionary of Mercy Lyrics
Is it an act of compassion, or a crime?To end the life of a friend who wants to dieOnce sound of body and sound of mindNow plastic tubes to stay aliveHe finds the strength to look me in the eye(And say)Take this life from meDon't make me live (please let me die)If you're my friend you'll let me dieTake this pain from meDon't make me liveMissionary of mercyHelp me dieMissionary of mercyHow can I be convicted for killing pain?I'm being crucified, the law provides the nailsThe jury must decide -- wrong or right?The book spells it out in black and whiteYou'd never understand unless you heard the cryTake this life from meDon't make me live (please let me die)If you're my friend you'll let me dieTake this pain from meDon't make me liveMissionary of mercyHelp me dieMissionary of mercyPlease! sever the veins of my agony.Please! let tranquillity cover me.One vision, you'll sentence meCripple me with a lecture on my idealsBut nothing you do, nothing you sayWill make me repent the decision I madeIt was an act of compassion not a crimeTo end the life of my friendWho begged to dieOnce sound of body and sound of mindThen plastic tubes to stay aliveFinding the strength to look me in the eyeTake this life from meDon't make me live (please let me die)If you're my friend you'll let me dieTake this pain from meDon't make me liveMissionary of mercyHelp me dieMissionary of mercy
