Blood red sky as the trucks load and leave
Cruel, cold dawn over sad empty fields
Just a child left who grieves
Those stumbling trembling sacrifices
Fodder for your feast
Born to die beneath the knives
Of the human beast
Have we no shame?
Who’ll speak for those with no voice?
For greed and for gain
We slaughter those with no choice
Those with no choice
Blood red coats, and the hounds in full cry
Cruel, cold guns blasting birds from the skies
Just a child left who cries
Those lifeless legs they loved to roam
And those were wings that flew
Those hearts that bleed on forest leaves
Were living just like you
Have we no shame?…
Poor souls, we stole
All the meadows you grazed
Poor souls, we stole
All your sun’s golden rays
Kept you chained up and caged
We darkened your days
Blood stained shelves, is your conscience quite numb?
Ask yourselves just what’s been done
To satisfy your tongue
But one day we shall curse these wrongs
The butchers shall be damned
The child shall lay his hand upon
The lion and the lamb
Have we no shame?
I sing for those with no voice
Who’ll spare them from pain?
I sing for those with no choice
Those with no choice
