Beasts of Burden

Creatures dyin' Vultures flyin' Some birds singin' Hyenas laughin' Aging horses Who gave all it had to give Beasts of burden Who work for their right to live These creatures live not wanting more In nature's paradise But the shape of man meant sudden death His mind's confused with lies No true home has he Flays off this society Hiding of fear Pretending he doesn't see Feelings he hides While other beings die The poison that he breathes 'Cause his heart is lost To a false torturous game Insisting that he believes A child of the truth Polluted by lying words Too young to choose Life's mine, he's forced to lose Castrated horses Chickens and cows A help to suit demands Their time will be used Their lives abused By the pleasure seeking man And true man must go To make room for the madman's home Your village is burnt That fool deepest word to learn From man's mistakes, all creatures must die He thinks he is the chosen one Their innocent lives are tortured or killed By the fool, who needed it done But the animals know The devil, his face has shown Too late to turn back The sickness is overgrown
