Out of love, out of compassion.

When I was reading in the book of light, this touched my soul,
I stayed awake all night,
The written word was in my thoughts,
The truth I heard opened up my heart.

You were lead like a lamb to slaughter and, as you bled, Hell got hotter,
And, as I read, my emotions were shattered as I envisioned your body battered.

Out of love, out of compassion,
You turned your light on me to end my misery,
Out of love, out of compassion,
I found I needed you; no one else will do.

When I was walking in the valley of the shadow, it was cold, it was a battle,
Word on the street was the code to live by, but now I know it was the way to die.

You were lead like a lamb to slaughter and, as you bled, Hell got hotter.

Out of love, out of compassion,
You turned your light on me to end my misery,
Out of love, out of compassion,
I found I needed you; no one else will do.

Out of love, out of compassion,
You turned your light on me to end my misery,
Out of love, out of compassion,
You were lead like a lamb to slaughter and, as you bled, Hell got hotter,
Out of love, out of compassion,
You turned your light on me to end my misery,
Out of love, out of compassion, (out of love, out of compassion)
You ended my misery, my misery,
Out of love, out of compassion, (out of love, out of compassion)
