1. If you choose to befriend the shadows, you may be outrun
And on the day of battle find yourself poorly armed

2. You would forsake the brethren of purity as though they were
Sacrificial lambs or a pierced necklace

3. And make them weep with the cooing of a dove after
You have rested, without raising a finger for them

4. So you have contained the salvation of these three
And if you save another, for you it will be four
