Zero Hour

    A decision had to be made
       Would he be in on the mission or not
    Weighing the risks versus the possible rewards
       Peril at every twist and turn, the path was fraught

     Zero hour fast approached, but he was torn
        Many had bitten the dust, he was warned
     Yet others did not merely survive
        They swore to a man that they were reborn 

     At the last possible second, he exclaimed, I’m in ~
        "God protect our holy love, keep us from sin”
