...And The Hunting Season Begins Depredation Decimation
2.
Unjustified 03:22
Unjustified A tiger’s carcass outside its cage, Missing head, legs and skin – The pelt will be sold on the black market, The parts will be used by medicine You say animals can’t suffer And don’t even feel Don’t you realize It’s their integrity you steal They’re not some commodity That’s only meant to be Bought and sold – Have you ever been told? Depredation – Unjustified Decimation – Turn the tide Each day dogs are found Along the highways ran over by cars Others discovered in forests Astray or tied to trees and starved... Now, either neglect Or malicious intent, Torture is torture – You may dissent But there will come a day When you won’t get away With such a deed That’s where it’ll lead Depredation – Unjustified Decimation – Turn the tide

5F 02:28
5F (The Five Freedoms of animal welfare by the Farm Animal Welfare Council) Free – set them free from thirst and hunger No need to drag them under Can’t treat them any way you please No way Free – discomfort never again And liberate them from pain, Injury and disease Five freedoms – Can’t fail Five freedoms – Prevail Free – to express normal behavior Mercy them and be their savior If it means anything to you Does it? Free – from fear and distress at all cost Or else it’s a total loss Is the message getting through? Five freedoms – Can’t fail Five freedoms – Prevail Free – in a world of deep frustrations To prevent their humiliation There’s so much a human can do That’s right Free – a universal declaration Is like a new revelation We must get the message through Five freedoms – Can’t fail Five freedoms – Prevail

Rescue Shelter Just got to let them in: Broken bones, barely living skin Abandoned or lost – there's a place for all of you Have no fear, we know what to do Rescue shelter Voluntary helpers This is the last resort, the last hope Nowhere else to be This is their refuge And, in a way, their sanctuary To those who can't relate: All you give is a reason to hate Picture yourselves with no-one to stand by Then you'll know what it’s like to wish to die Rescue shelter Voluntary helpers This is the last resort, the last hope Nowhere else to be This is their refuge And, in a way, their sanctuary

The Prometheus Deception Influential intellectual? Subverter in truth For selfish ends you can never reach the Absolute Do you really expect to be Taken so damn seriously? Watch history change in modern books Affecting our perception To idolize a virtual crook Is a well forethought deception You are aiming higher Want to play with fire The feeble you inspire Yes you do Scam in the guise of wisdom You despise just to make the skies Laugh at you A judgement on you is due without a doubt: By a bird of prey you’re going to have Your liver eaten out Now would you still expect to be Taken so damn seriously? Watch history change in modern books Affecting our perception To idolize a virtual crook Is a well forethought deception You are aiming higher Want to play with fire The feeble you inspire Yes you do Scam in the guise of wisdom You despise just to make the skies Laugh at you You are playing with fire

Poacher Bashers The call goes out again, another campaign Raiding on land and water With one thing in mind, a task well defined: To stop wildlife’s slaughter A lifelong mission – time again to rise Against those who profit on the Earth’s demise (Day by day) Stalking your prey (Day by day) Such a foul play (Day by day) But you’re going to pay: Poacher bashers are coming your way No way to deny, stare it right in the eye: Actions must be taken If you think they’re thugs running amok You’re seriously mistaken A lifelong mission – time again to rise Against those who profit on the Earth’s demise (Day by day) Stalking your prey (Day by day) Such a foul play (Day by day) But you’re going to pay: Poacher bashers are coming your way Conservation and protection Always in the right direction Going to bring it to perfection No chance to escape detection (Day by day) Stalking your prey (Day by day) Such a foul play (Day by day) But you’re going to pay: Poacher bashers are coming your way

Eco-ethic 02:33
Eco-ethic Do you consider humans at the center of reality? Do you really think God gave us supremacy Over other creatures that populate the Earth? Here’s my standpoint for what it’s worth: Eco-ethic – Human-centredness must not stand Pure falsehood concealed as philosophy – Just look at ourselves and our oppressive hierarchy: We use up our resources, feast until we ache And all other species’ living space we take Eco-ethic – Human-centredness must not stand To rule or to care To steal or to share Do you consider humans at the center of reality? Do you really think God gave us supremacy Over other creatures that populate the land? Human-centredness must not stand

Death – A Happy Release Lab cruelty No-one’s meant to see Year after year It’s more and more severe No pain relief will be given – guess I should reprimand Myself for putting this joyful life to an end A machine so exquisite, a splendid work of art By rough and merciless hands is going to be torn apart Death – A happy release What it will legitimize you may find way too grim: Even more torture, only to satisfy our whims But I just try to take it and do the best i can For the interest of truth, for the benefit of man Death – A happy release Lab cruelty No-one’s meant to see Year after year Hundreds of millions disappear

Benighted 07:14
Benighted We’ve got our place, we’ve got our time And the illusion that we’re doing fine Not sure what our freedom is for And yet we always want more Here we stand disunited As if we’ve been blinded Here we stand disunited Totally benighted Promises with no guarantees Enough to put our minds at ease When we start to realize It’s too late, we’re hypnotized Here we stand disunited As if we’ve been blinded Here we stand disunited Totally benighted Where did we come from? Where do we go? Why are we here? Does anyone know? Here’s how we beguile The time and meanwhile, At a holiday resort A working group is preparing a report... Here we stand disunited As if we’ve been blinded Here we stand disunited Benighted
