Album: When Beauty Dies (1997)

A Case For Life

As you went to sleep tonight
Another notch in the headboard of life
Action, reaction, condition, decision,
the easiest way to put an ending to your strife
Consequence burned conscience
delivered and signed for by a life
manufactured, destroyed.
Scarred from death, memories left,
cause and effect, unchangeable, emotional,
regrettable, eternal case for life.
Case for life, a self centered way out.
Unwanted responsibility.
Holocaust, and we're desensitized.
No other decision has claimed so many lives.
And I take this stand against your fight
to be called a fanatic and weak for being pro-life.
For being crazy for wanting to save a life of a friend
or a wife that could be...my friend, my friend
and not just a piece of human waste that to you
was just a mistake. And I'm insane?
