By Conscience Compelled Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G5]They're defenseless creatures
That were sentenced [E5]to die.
[G5]Held captive from their inception
[C5]Throughout [Bb5]their lives.
In[G5]stinctual yearning to [Bb5]escape,
to [E5]be free.
Their only [G5]value to humans is monet[Bb5]ary.
[A5][G#5][Bb5][A5][C][Bb5][A5][C][Bb5][A5][C]
[Bb5]

[Verse 2]
[G5]A si[Bb5]lhouet[A5]te in the da[C]rk,
[Bb5]Bolt cutter[A5]s slice [C]through steel[Bb5]
To [A5]emancipate [C]the condemned
[Bb5]By con[G5]science compelled[G#5]
[Bb5]Clouds cover [A5]over[C]
[Bb5]Each mink d[A5]isapp[C]ears[Bb5]
in[A5]to the n[C]ight[Bb5]
[G5]By conscience compelled
Adrenaline [F5]surges. [G5]Anxiety boils.
The sense of empathy
[C5]Overwhelms [E5]the fear
Compas[G5]sion [C5]overpowers
[Bb5]all the hesitati[G#5]on
[G5]Animated [Bb5]by the ur [F5]gency
[E5]Fate has h[G5]anded their
rescue down [Bb5]to me.[G#5]
[Bb5]A silhou[A5]ette in the[C] dark,
[Bb5]Bolt cutter[A5]s slice [C]through steel[Bb5]
To [A5]emancipate [C]the con[C5]demned
[G5]By conscience compelle[Ab5]d
[Bb]Clouds cover[A5] over[C]
[Bb5]Each mink d[A5]isapp[C]ears [Bb]into t[Bb5]he night[A5][C]
[G5]By conscience compelled.
[F5][G5][Bb5][G5][F]

[Verse 3]
[G5]The net [Bb5]slowly[G5] closes.[F5]
[G5]Can't slip away.[Bb5]

[Verse 4]
[G5]Stay paces[Bb5] ahead[G5][F]
[G5]With nowhe[Bb5]re to hi[F]de
[G5]They were alwa[Bb5]ys one step [G5]behind[F]
[G5]It was only [Bb5]a matter[G5] of ti[Bb5]me
[G5]Now nothing to regret
[F5]Lock[G5]ed inside a pr[Bb5]ison cel[G5]l[F5]
[G5]Driven by conviction[F5]
[G5]Nothing near their hell[Ab5]
[Bb5]A silhou[A5]ette in the[C] dark,
[Bb5]Bolt cutter[A5]s slice [C]through steel[Bb5]
[A5]To emancipate [C]the condemned
[G5]By conscience compelle[Ab5]d
[Bb5]Clouds cover [A5]over[C]
[Bb5]Each mink d[A5]isapp[C]ears[Bb5]
in[A5]to the n[C]ight[Bb5]
[G5]By conscience comp[C5]elled.[Bb5]
[Am]There[A5]

[Verse 5]
[C5][Bb5][Am]
are [Ab5]no regre[Bb5]ts.
[Am]There [A5]are [G]no r[Bb5]egrets[Am].[Ab5][G5]
[Bb]By c[F]on[E5][G5][F]
[Ab5]science com[G5]pelled.[Bb]
