Death Trains
Forward unto death,
Onward to certain doom,
Death trains on parade,
For all eyes to see.
A one-way ticket,
For all but one or two,
Hundreds led to slaughter,
Bred to be killed,
Fed to feed you,
To satisfy your greed,
Your unnecessary hunger,
An obsession with consumption.
An all too visual reminder,
Of the gluttony of mankind,
Death trains consumers of life,
Cruising down the highways of hell,
Fear of death, fear or life,
Unending pain,
Death trains.
They prowl the fucking streets,
The stench of death in the air,
Onward to your doom,
There is no coming back from this hell.
* Death trains is a name we have collectively given to the road-train trucks we see all too often on Australian roads, that are packing to rafters with unwilling livestock being transported to their deaths. Anyone in Australia would know, and i am sure it is present in many other countries, that these trucks are a horrible sight, when you see so many living animals, crammed into such a small place, in sweltering heat, traveling hundreds of kilometres, hours of suffering, only to be met with a blade at the other end.
It truly makes me sick, and i'm sure it is a sight that very few people would like to see, yet they still indulge in the final product. This fuels much of my frustrations about our society, a society that literally laughs at the thought of a non-meat lifestyle, who advertises the judgement that to not eat meat, is un-Australian, and to be honest, if that is what this country believes to be important, i don't want to be a part of it. *
Your World
So millions died in world wars,
What a fucking tragedy,
Their choices weren't made for them,
But man-made war is no tragedy,
It's tragic that it's just our nature,
Why is it you cry?
About the deaths of hundreds,
When you contribute to the murder.
Of millions on a daily basis,
Fuck that, and fuck you too,
I hope you're offended,
Maybe you will learn,
Learn to give a fuck,
About someone other than yourself,
Your tears mean nothing,
If you ignore that of other.
Fuck your world,
Millions dead everyday.
But you don't fucking care,
You don't shed a tear.
Fuck your world
Fuck your world
And fuck you too.
* At first this song can sound very offensive to those who have had family involved in war, or are sympathetic to the victims of war. I am not out to offend these people at all, i only mean to make an emotive link between human tragedy and animal tragedy, to the majority, there is no link as humans tend to think that ther problems are more important than anything elses, which is the fundamental problem with the Speciesism that plagues the human race. To suggest that the deaths of thousands of people over a number of years due to war, is more of a tragedy than the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent animals in one day! is a huge problem. I can't speak for the rest of the band, but when i see animal suffering i cry, and i'm not ashamed to admit that. However if i see a person suffering, i feel very little emotion at all due to my general apathy towards humans for all the horribel things we have been responsible for in the duration of our existence, no animal has ever declared war, so who is the true animal? *
Slave Trade
Born into a life of humiliation,
Paraded for the masses,
Beaten into submission,
Tortured into slavery,
Commanded by fear,
And soulless humanity.
Bound to a life in shackles,
Of absolute neglect,
Expected to perform,
On the brink of death,
Shocked and poked,
It's not fucking natural,
Dressed up to hide,
The fucking scars.
The slave trade exists,
It always has,
And you've sat and watched,
For far too long,
How do you,
Justify this slavery?
Circus Slavery,
I'm not fucking entertained.
I'd be more entertained,
If they turned on you,
Trampled you to death,
Tore you a-fucking-part.
Slave Trade!

Ignorance
Your fucking ignorance,
Has led me to this,
Call me fucking militant,
I call you fucking weak.
You don't even want to see,
You don't want to fucking know,
Ignorance, is never fucking bliss,
Not for those who are suffering.
And you can fucking believe,
Me when i say,
That their capacity for suffering,
Is more a reality,
Than your pathetic existence.
You ignorant fuck,
I hope you choke,
You Ignorant fuck,
You Ignorant fuck,
Fuck you.

Born Into Suffering
I choose to put an end,
To this viscious cycle,
I will fight for those,
Who don't have a chance.
Born into suffering,
This nightmare of pain,
Has got to fucking end,
This is all for,
Animal Liberartion,
So don't be fucking naive,
Accept the facts.
So get up off you knees,
Don't bottle up your hate,
Coz you know what fucking goes on,
In those inhumane prisons,
You, fucking know.
Stop being an accessory to murder,
Every fucking day,
Make a change in your life,
Put an end to animal cruelty,
For fucking good,
You can make a difference,
Go fucking Vegan.
Animal Liberation,
Stop being an accessory to murder,
Animal Liberation,
Animal Liberation.
Fuck!

Poleaxe
Poleaxe gripped tight,
Gleaming with blood,
Crushing blows,
As blood runs cold.
No remorse when killing,
Swinging at the skulls of the living,
Being paid to murder,
Being paid to fucking murder.
Bad aim, crushed skulls,
Shattered eye sockets,
Snapped jaws, slow deaths,
And suffering,
Screaming in agony,
Cold blooded barbaricy,
Torturous means of slaughter.
That meat you're eating,
Was a murder victim,
It wouldn't taste so sweat,
If you heard it scream.
Born Into Suffering
