The question asked in order to save to her life or take it.
The answer no avoided death and yes would make it.
Do you believe in God? written on the bullet
Say yes to pull to the trigger
And my sister Cassie pulled it [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/cassie_acoustic.html ]
They didn't love their life so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive!
All heads are bowed in silent reverence
The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful remembrance
The altar is filled with hearts of repentance
Perfect love kills all fear
Rejoice in this deliverance
They didn't love their life so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive!
I doubt it will ever end death. It's a sad fact of life. But, don't worry because if we spread our wings of love i'm sure we could stop people from killing one another.
Awesome song! I couldn't believe that someone wrote a song 10 years later. I remember hearing about cassie and thought, "wow! Could i really do that in front of my peers? " that answer is yes because cassie and i both know where we are going after this life.
"perfect love kills fear. " there is no fear in love... The one who fears is not made in perfect love (1 john 4:18). Cassie didn't love her life enough to "shrink" resist death. Cassie knew their was more to life than of this world. "rejoice in this deliverance" rejoice that we have deliverance, rejoice that cassies love was made in perfect love
Lacey is talking about cassie from the columbine shooting but i think the real meaning is to stand up for what you believe in, even if your standing alone. And maybe she did die, but that was gods choice, and she died standing up for herself and for god, and a lot of people wouldnt do that.
Lacey is talking about how her sister, cassie, was shot at columbine by eric harris after he asked her do u believe in god. Her last words were i would do anything to protect my faith for god.
