Lyrics

Our voice for the voiceless
We keep them locked in a cage for our own entertainment
Or to harvest their eggs, their flesh or strip their skin
Jammed in space where all movement is futile
Thrown back in the sea after slicing their fins
Elevation of pain
Humanity is inhumane
Brought to struggle for death without being sedated
Regulations are useless when they're not enforced
Hunted as trophies because they're endangered
So called for science so there is no remorse
Elevation of pain
Humanity is inhumane
Prosecute a cat for a disease it doesn't have
But when a playful dog is stabbed the stabber they protect
Driven in a cove for a traditional slaughterfest
Or another false excuse for our animal abuse
Imagine mankind overruled
By a higher race that wants you schooled
To dance around in bloody chains
If you disobey they break your brains
The day we would become like a human on a string
Deprived of evolution. Enslaved for just one thing
They keep us locked in a cage for their own entertainment
Or hunt us like trophies because it is fun
Chop off our limbs to see how long we would struggle
For scientific research so there is no remorse
Elevation of pain
Still feeling so humane?
At least grant them a normal life and free them from their cage
Their flesh tastes twice as good when it has a natural age
Indulge your pets with care and love not just the ones you own
There's simply no excuse for our animal abuse
Imagine us all overruled
By a richer class that wants you fooled
To give up your immunity
And along the way break old treaties
Some already treat you like a human on a string
At the mercy of our rulers not inclined to change one thing
