The Lesser Evil

Verse 1

How rare it is to face a choice

Where each one has an equal voice

The little things are easy to weigh,

With little loss whichever we say

But when the stakes grow deep and wide,

No perfect answer waits inside

Our fate depends on choices we make,

So the lesser evil we are forced to take

Chorus

Why must we choose the lesser evil's path

While it could invite a greater-ending wrath?

Why do we fight to save our souls,

When we can't control the final tolls? (final tolls)

And then we judge the roads that others take,

While not knowing what was theirs to break

Just like us they chose the safer paths to go,

What did they face we'll never know (we'll never know)

Verse 2

Perhaps the greater stakes we bear

Mean greater risks are waiting there

But life asks more than playing safe,

For all take chances and not just the brave.

We never see the whole design,

The hidden cost, the blurry line

We make choices, based on pain,

On fear of losses, not the gain.

Why must we choose the lesser evil's path

While it could invite a greater-ending wrath?

Why do we fight to save our souls,

When we can't control the final tolls? (final tolls)

And then we judge the roads that others take,

While not knowing what was theirs to break

Just like us they chose the safer paths to go,

What did they face we'll never know (we'll never know)

(Final Bridge)

Through every choice, through every trial,

We choose the lesser evil all the while.

Through all the roads we stumble through,

Did what we chose change what we knew?

Chorus

Why must we choose the lesser evil's path

While it could invite a greater-ending wrath?

Why do we fight to save our souls,

When we can't control the final tolls? (final tolls)

And then we judge the roads that others take,

While not knowing what was theirs to break

Just like us they chose the safer paths to go,

What did they face we'll never know (we'll never know)
