Earth Crisis - By Conscience Compelled lyrics

They're defenseless creatures That were sentenced to die. Held captive from their inception Throughout their lives. Instinctual yearning to escape, to be free. Their only value to humans is monetary. A silhouette in the dark, Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled Adrenaline surges. Anxiety boils. The sense of empathy Overwhelms the fear Compa**ion overpowers all the hesitation Animated by the urgency Fate has handed their rescue down to me. A silhouette in the dark, Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled. The net slowly closes. Can't slip away. Stay paces ahead With nowhere to hide They were always one step behind It was only a matter of time Now nothing to regret Locked inside a prison cell Driven by conviction Nothing near their hell A silhouette in the dark, Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled. There are no regrets. There are no regrets. By conscience compelled. By conscience compelled.
