You have a conversation with death, and ask

why do you want me?

im not ready to join you

ive got so much more to give!

tries again to take my hand

a touch that will mean the end

i resist, and move away

now is the time i want to stay

fight til my final breath

protect the flock from impending death

make it known for all around

my home is sacred ground.

in the depths of darkness

i now dwell alone

my mind a prison

spirit overthrown

lost in a void

demons abound

tonight i cry

tonight i cry

desecrate the sacred ground

and as the world is blind to my pain

ill scream defiance let it rain

insanity shows its hand

time to make my final stand

i despise the dogma, the bkind devotion

organized religion a twisted notion

in this sea of sadness i find my voice

unmask the hypocrisy, making my choice

bitter tears cascade, a river of despair

bitter tears cascade, a river of despair

my home is sacred ground
