Left for Dead

[Intro ]

“Teacher… what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

[Verse 1]

Love the Lord your God!

With heart and soul and mind and might!

Love your neighbor too!

Do this , and walk in light.

Live the truth, not just recite,

Go and do likewise!

[Verse 2 ]

But still the man, he sought a line,

“Who is my neighbor? Help define.”

So Jesus told a story deep,

Of mercy sown where others sleep.

[Chorus ]

LEFT FOR DEAD!

Lying broken on the ground!

LEFT FOR DEAD!

No helping hands around!

But mercy moved where law had fled,

He raised the one who was left for dead!

A man went down a winding road,

Robbers struck, and pain was sown.

Robbed and stripped and cast aside,

Half a breath, nearly died.

[Pre-Chorus 2 ]

A priest walked by, kept his pride,

A Levite came… but stepped aside.

They saw, they knew, but chose instead

To leave the wounded man for dead.

[Chorus ]

LEFT FOR DEAD!

Religious eyes turned cold.

LEFT FOR DEAD!

While silence took control.

But love arose, where fear had fled—

The stranger found him, left for dead!

[Bridge ]

Then came a man, a Samaritan,

Despised, yet moved by heart and hand.

He saw the pain, he did not flee…

He gave his time, he gave his peace.

He poured the oil, he dressed the wound,

He bore the weight beneath the moon.

He paid the price, he made things right…

A stranger’s love in darkest night.

[Solo ]

[Breakdown – Screamed, massive chugs]

Mercy moves, where pride walks past!

Mercy pays, it holds, it lasts!

Mercy heals, it lifts, it bled...

For the soul the world had LEFT FOR DEAD!

[Final Chorus ]

LEFT FOR DEAD!

But grace had hands that stayed.

LEFT FOR DEAD!

But love refused to fade.

Now go and do the same instead,

For you were once... left for dead.

[Outro ]

“Which one was the neighbor?”

“The one who had mercy…”

“Then go… and do likewise!”
