By Conscience Compelled Lyrics
They're defenseless creatures
That were sentenced to die
Held captive from their inception
Throughout their lives
Instinctual yearning to escape, to be free
Their only value to humans is monetary
A silhouette in the dark
Bolt cutters slice through steel
To emancipate the condemned
By conscience compelled
Clouds cover over
Each mink disappears into the night
By conscience compelled
Adrenaline surges. Anxiety boils
The sense of empathy
Overwhelms the fear
Compassion overpowers all the hesitation
Animated by the urgency
Fate has handed their rescue down to me
A silhouette in the dark
Bolt cutters slice through steel
To emancipate the condemned
By conscience compelled
Clouds cover over
Each mink disappears into the night
By conscience compelled
The net slowly closes. Can't slip away
Stay paces ahead
With nowhere to hide
They were always one step behind
It was only a matter of time
Now nothing to regret

Locked inside a prison cell
Driven by conviction
Nothing near their hell
A silhouette in the dark
Bolt cutters slice through steel
To emancipate the condemned
By conscience compelled
Clouds cover over
Each mink disappears into the night
By conscience compelled
There are no regrets
There are no regrets
By conscience compelled
By conscience compelled
