I TRIED

i hear footsteps all around
but no-one’s there when i look round
Do you desire to approach an get frightened away
Does the devil behind me drive you away
Do the hurt in my eyes scare you
Do the scars in my eyes hunt you

Wherever you’re running to. oh Angels
Tell them
One of you has been abducted!
Tell them
One of you needs help
Hurry up before its too late and a loud cry is all you’ll hear
When the hungry cougars have devoured their last
But when that happens, tell Him that i tried
