i am lamb................to the slaughter®


Based in part on you know what
cause i can't keep my heart shut.
Just can't find it
from where i stand and sit.
On earth no matter how far
the scar
won't ever go
i know!
Damn i am
a weak lamb,
left to only weep
when My Gentle But Mighty Lion went to sleep....

Is hope in the room there?
I don't see it here anywhere!
Damn i am!
Is hope in this house
that's as quiet as a mouse?
I don't hear it in this house
I don't even hear a mouse!
I don't see it in the room there
I don't see it here anywhere!
Damn i am!
Would i find it on walks
Would i find it kicking rocks?
Not on walks
Not kicking rocks
Not in this house
Not even a mouse
Not in the room there
Not here anywhere!
Damn i am!
Is it in the rain
Is it found on a train?
I would not could not feel it in the rain
Not even if i rode a train!
Damn i am!
What happens in the dark
Would i even see a spark?
None at all in the dark Not even in the rain!
Not on walks
Not kicking rocks
Not in this house
Not even a mouse
Not in the room there
Not here anywhere!
Damn i am!
Would it help to climb a tree?
No it would not could not come to me!
Would it help to ride a boat?
No not even if i share it with an escape goat!
Would a car
take me to it no matter how far?
Not in a car Not even if i went to a bar!
Not on walks
Not kicking rocks
Not in this house
Not even a mouse
Not in the room there
Not here anywhere!
Damn i am!
