Lamb to the Slaughter (feat. Jimi Westbrook & Dan Truman)

The morning was clear on the road from Nauvoo.
A tear touched his eye as his home fell from view.
The journey was silent and few words were said.
As he learned to his brother and quietly said.
As a lamb to the slaughter I willingly go and die for my father, his strength fills my soul.
I've lived for my savior and I'll die for him too and with humble heart I lay down my life a prophet of truth.

Four hamble men sang with the angels on high.
He asked if I for him would die.
The flesh was weak my blood ran chill, but my free spirit cried I will.
For I know this day I shall see my saviors face.
As a lamb to the slaughter I willingly go and die for my father, his strength fills my soul.
I've lived for my savior and I'll die for him too and with humble heart I lay down my life a prophet of truth.

A noise from the stairway, a shot through the door the first martyr fell to the floor tears filled Joseph's eyes, oh my dear brother Hyrum to day you'll find peace oh Lord my God release my soul set my spirit free.

As a lamb to the slaughter I willingly go and die for my father, his strength fills my soul.
I've lived for my savior and I'll die for him too and with humble heart I lay down my life a prophet of truth.
And with humble heart I go to my grave a prophet of truth.
