Rise up, rise up, a child no more./
Rise up, rise up a pawn no more./

and then the light is gone, and I see.

This is your peace and love?

I sit here and quietly watch and wait.
The key to faith’s door opens up my fate

but still they are sweet
to some tongue.

There was no one else…unless he was just a hired hit man to do the deed for the maniac that was going to hack them to pieces. Michael swallowed again.

His heart skipped a beat as the horror stories he’d seen on TV and movies ran through his mind.

Randy nodded. “I guess not. It’s a waiting game now. He’s got us right where he wants us, truth be told.”
