Food Chain
Echoes of Consequence: Reflecting on Our Impact
Lyrics
We are top of this food chain
We assert our dominance at the top of the food chain.
Were slowly killing this planet away
We are causing gradual harm to the planet.
We wear their skin and show off their pain
We wear the skin of animals, displaying the pain they endure.
We feast from the corpses with no refrain
We consume the remains of deceased creatures without restraint.
This systematic killing
There is a systematic pattern of killing.
We must be more forgiving
We need to adopt a more forgiving attitude.
These are lives we are taking away
We are taking away lives in this process.
We see the truth
We recognize the truth.
We see how
We understand how.
We begin someday
We start the journey someday.
We must begin some how
We must initiate the process somehow.
Why do we have to kill this way
Questioning the necessity of killing in this manner.
Life is the highest price to pay
Life has an incredibly high cost in this context.
Sometimes we buy them
We acquire animals as commodities.
We call them pets
We label them as pets.
We treat them different
We treat them differently, yet...
We give them respect
We give them respect.
They bleed the same blood that we do
They share the same blood as us.
They hurt with the pain that we do
They experience pain similar to ours.
We are bring ourselves to be extinct
We are pushing ourselves towards extinction.
We see the truth
We see the truth.
We see how
We understand how.
We begin someday
We start the journey someday.
We must begin some how
We must initiate the process somehow.
Why do we have to kill this way
Questioning the necessity of killing in this manner.
Life is the highest price to pay
Life has an incredibly high cost in this context.
Why do we have to kill this way
Questioning the necessity of killing in this manner.
Life is the highest price to pay
Life has an incredibly high cost in this context.
