Deep Within the Grave

Come here, I say, come closer Let me tell you 'bout a tale You're young, you can learn from this So be sure to listen well A gathered clan of kinsmen I'd say the number equaled twelve Each one found a higher calling Forged by the Good Shepherd Himself He brought these men together They broke bread, then shared a pact Nothing happens to the Master Or one of us must spring to act That day came as expected He was charged with several crimes The least brave of the twelve Knocked on the door, knocked several times They took Him, Roman soldiers What do we do? I am afraid By the time someone took action He was deep within the grave
