A sad, true story of a very young racoon pup I found gutted near my doorstep as if it had been sacrificed.

Sacrifice
By Timothy Price

[Verse 1]
I buried a raccoon pup at dawn
Found him by the steps
Heartless and empty

[Chorus]
Another life lost
Dark world so cruel
Why should I care?
You silly old fool

[Vers 2]
Secretly sacrificed
Under half-moon that rose at two
Such a dark mystery

[Bridge]
A spark of life was lit
To be snuffed out so soon
A baby raccoon as a sacficial lamb
So much misery for such a little life

[Chorus]
Another life lost
Dark world so cruel
Why should I care?
You silly old fool

[Otro]
With last rites fitting
Any innocent soul
Tucked in under spadefuls of sandy soil
Laid to rest, secured for eternity

Dusk
