On Their Behalf

Desperation, you've tempted me on too many times

For me to turn my back on you again

I lust for your gift to ease the pain for us all

Accept the fact that their death can prevent our fears

Not the plot of cowardice, but the birth of a savior

Acceptance of a martyr's role

Extricate these demons from sight, risking life and limb

Vigil martyr, set the foundation of tolerance at any extreme

Even the price of suicide, even a price so high as this

The seas of love must part to act on their behalf

For while we weep, they still rape, raping our patience for change

Off the hook for feigned insanity

But not off the hook from the public

In the media and in the flesh, a crucifixion will be in order

A celebration of politically correct's death

We will dance with our children once again

Their security is reinstated by this bastard's sacrifice
