Pariah - Missionary Of Mercy lyrics

Is it an act of compa**ion, or a crime? To end the life of a friend who wants to die Once sound of body and sound of mind Now plastic tubes to stay alive He finds the strength to look me in the eye (and say) Take this life from me Don't make me live (please let me die) If you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me Don't make me live Missionary of mercy Help me die Missionary of mercy How can I be convicted for k**ing pain? I'm being crucified, the law provides the nails The jury must decide -- wrong or right? The book spells it out in black and white You'd never understand unless you heard the cry Take this life from me Don't make me live (please let me die) If you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me Don't make me live Missionary of mercy Help me die Missionary of mercy Please! sever the veins of my agony Please! let tranquillity cover me One vision, you'll sentence me Cripple me with a lecture on my ideals But nothing you do, nothing you say Will make me repent the decision I made It was an act of compa**ion not a crime To end the life of my friend Who begged to die Once sound of body and sound of mind Then plastic tubes to stay alive Finding the strength to look me in the eye Take this life from me Don't make me live (please let me die) If you're my friend you'll let me die Take this pain from me Don't make me live Missionary of mercy Help me die Missionary of mercy
