"They are called into existence by human artifice that they may drag out a short and miserable existence of slavery and disease, that their bodies may be mutilated, their social feelings outraged. It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery.”
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
lyrics
Sentenced to a life of pain,
Suffering beyond compare,
Tortured until they've gone insane,
Damaged beyond repair
Burned alive, skin torn from flesh,
Cut open and left to bleed to death
Blinded, disfigured, and dismembered until lungs suffer their final breath
But a hand holds the blade,
A mind makes the choice,
To take innocent life,
To silence their voice
Their blood is on your hands
How can you look into their eyes and tell me this isn't wrong?
How can you see them struggle to survive and tell me this isn't wrong?
This is wrong
You are guilty
Their sacrifices, their lives gone in vain, their emotions squandered without gain
The need to satisfy capitalist greed turns the gears of this death machine
Behind this barbed wire fence, the slaughter of the innocent.
You'll have no chance to repent, you are guilty
Turn the blade on the oppressor to save the victim,
Some deaths are deserved and yours will be their salvation
No room to move, no air to breathe, you deny them that right,
Too long have you walked free, vivisectionist, I deny you your life
Show me your face, demons all of you,
Show me your face, I would kill you if I could
Tonight I long to open your flesh, discard your soul, and hope that whatever god you believe in sends you to burn in hell
