Could You

Could you sacrifice a child?

So that the world could live another day

Could you suffer on in agony?

To see evil done away

Could you fight, and bleed, and carry on?

Just to reach one final gate

Could you stand before a monster?

Then look it in it’s face

For every good dead ever done

A million bad will follow

For every sacrifice made in vain

One will end all sorrow

If you could save a world of souls

Only to damn your own forever

Would you even hesitate?

Could your resign yourself to hell?
