lyrics

Upside down,
hanging by the feet,
the throat cut,
unworthily.
“It’s just an animal”

Fattened,
stuck into the dark,
and despised,
reduced to nothing !

Beaten,
again and again,
life of pain
If it’s a life.
Slaughtered by millions.

Murdered,
For the taste of humans,
Wasted,
for the profit.
Can you imagine this ?

This is criminal,
This is immoral !
This is our shame,
Time to change the game !

See the terror
in this poor eyes !
Hear the anguish,
in these screams !

Hunted,
For their hide or fur,
Knock out,
Electrocute.
“It’s just an animal”

Locked up,
All their life in jail,
Living
In their faeces.

Wiped out,
They are skinned alive and,
Tortured,
To go faster.
Slaughtered by millions.

Deprived,
alone with their fates
Waiting,
for agony
Can you imagine this ?

This is criminal,
This is immoral !
This is our shame,
Time to change the game !

See the terror
in this poor eyes !
Hear the anguish,
in these screams !

Can we imagine a world deprived of useless pain ?
Can we imagine one day to be fair with all species ?
Can we wish to live in dignity and harmony ?
Why can’t we make this dream reality ?

This is criminal,
This is immoral !
This is our shame,
Time to change the game !

See the terror
in this poor eyes !
Hear the anguish,
in these screams ! x2
