    A Shepard
    I will not waste one moment
    Defending what I believe to be wrong.

    I will not lay down my own morals
    To achieve what success I have.

    I will not build my life
    On the broken spirit of others.

    I will stand before the machine
    To sacrifice myself for my brothers.

    I will give my freedom to the terror
    If it means others will not suffer.

    I will give my life for peace
    That all may live content.

    I refuse to be just another blind lamb.
    I will be the Shepherd that shields them.
