They hunt us down like cattle

Beseech our brittle bones

But this is just the battle

Our war is still at home

My family is in danger

And I haven’t heard a word

I’m seated next to strangers 

My death is most assured

I decide to pray to Jesus

In hopes he’ll keep me safe

I hope his mercy frees us 

And that we can flee this place

But beyond the walls of anguish

No hope seems to arise

All I have is one last wish

That I’ll join you when I die.
