Lyrics
Mother Nature smiles and cracks a new days dawn
Mother Nature greets a new day's beginning.
Most people on the earth are sleeping comfortably and warm
Most people are asleep and comfortable while the day begins.
Out in the fields and pastures, it's another new day too
The start of a new day in rural areas is also peaceful.
One without the war and hatred that is known by me and you
A day without war and animosity, unlike what's known to humanity.
A shriek disturbs the peacefulness; the cat's just killed a mouse
A disturbance occurs as a cat kills a mouse.
The mother says with feeling as she looks out from the house
A mother expresses emotion witnessing the incident from the house.
It's breakfast time, the clock strikes nine, ham, bacon, one egg or two?
Breakfast time is at nine o'clock; choices include ham, bacon, and eggs.
What a shame about that mouse, what's for tea tonight, lamb stew?
Conversation shifts to dinner plans: lamb stew for the evening.
Well, there's things to do, so the family divides in separate ways
Family members engage in different activities.
Father works to earn the keep, he's a butcher and well paid
The father, a butcher, earns for the family.
The daughters go to riding school mother washes up the crap
Daughters attend riding school while the mother handles chores.
One son plays with soldiers; the other aggravates the cat
Sons pursue different activities - playing with soldiers or disturbing the cat.
Back out in the fields, a different story's taking place
A contrasting scenario unfolds in the fields.
Foxes cower with their cubs to escape the human race
Wild animals like foxes seek refuge from human presence.
Rabbits run for life, deer take cover in the trees
Rabbits and deer hide to survive.
The mother sighs with disbelief, then prepares the meat
The mother, in disbelief, prepares meat amid the contrasting scenes.
Think what you're doing the systems set to ruin
Reflection on actions leading to the destruction of systems.
The life not the profit we've got to fucking stop it
An urgent call to prioritize life over profit and stop detrimental practices.
Because before too long there will nothing left alive
A warning that soon there might be no life left on Earth.
Not a creature on the land or sea, a bird in the sky
Envisioning a bleak future with no creatures alive on land, sea, or sky.
They'll be shot, harpooned, eaten and hunted too much
Animals will face excessive hunting and exploitation.
Vivisected by the clever men who prove that there's no such
Animals subjected to experimentation to disprove fairness in the world.
Thing as a fair world with live and let live
A critique on the lack of 'live and let live' ideology.
The royal family go hunting what an example to give
Criticizing the royal family's hunting practices as a poor example.
To the people they lead and that don't include me
Exclusion from following such leadership due to witnessing cruelty.
I've seen enough pain and torture of those who can't speak
An objection to the pain and torture inflicted on voiceless creatures.
So I'm gonna speak for them in an all out attack
Commitment to advocate for voiceless creatures through activism.
And if someone tries to whip me, then I will fucking whip them back
Readiness to retaliate against those who try to suppress activism.
Because I have had enough of this madness in those theatres of hell
Expressing frustration with ongoing atrocities in various situations.
Enough of them hounding the fox to the kill
Objecting to the relentless pursuit of hunting foxes.
Of baby seals being clubbed, their mothers cut up
Horror at the brutality inflicted on baby seals and their mothers.
They satisfy their greed, their wealth's built on blood
Criticism of wealth built on the bloodshed of animals.
Of their slaughterhouse haunting the back of the mind
The psychological impact of slaughterhouses on the mind.
The gas chamber of the farm life, the end of the line
A depiction of farm life's gas chamber as the end of existence.
