Bloodless Life
Rising Against Exploitation: Unveiling the Message of 'Bloodless Life'
Lyrics
The message was passed on
The message has been conveyed.
With the compassion I’ve earned
Expressing empathy gained through experience.
Now I show the others
Now demonstrating to others the knowledge acquired.
The same things I’ve learned
Teaching others the same lessons learned.
I won’t sit back
Refusing to remain passive for the sake of convenience.
For the sake of convenience.
Commitment to continuous effort until all exploitation ends.
I won’t rest until the last sign
Determined to eradicate every sign of exploitation.
Of exploitation is ended
Addressing those who ignore or tolerate cruelty.
Those who shut their eyes
Criticizing those who ignore brutality.
In the face of this barbarity
Connecting indifference to inhuman acts.
are the same ones who turn their backs
Highlighting the hypocrisy of turning away from human suffering.
On human suffering.
Condemning the depletion of a diseased Earth due to human disdain.
Depleting a sick Earth
Identifying selfishness as the driving force behind the destructive cycle.
That man has despised
A critique of human actions perpetuating the cycle of destruction.
Selfishness is what makes
Emphasizing that individual choices sustain this destructive cycle.
This cycle alive
Addressing the urgency of preventing further harm.
So many in the death rows
Referencing individuals awaiting punishment on death row.
Waiting for the darkest hours
Highlighting the severity of the situation and the need for action.
But we can stop this crime
Expressing the power to stop the ongoing crime.
The decision is ours!
Asserting that the decision to act lies with individuals.
Respect should be extended
Advocating respect for all forms of life, not just human.
To nonhuman forms of life
Anxiously awaiting a time when empathy extends to nonhuman life.
I wait for the day when we will
Anticipating a future where hearts open to the cries of the oppressed.
Open our hearts to their cries!
Rejecting involvement in the bloodshed of the innocent.
I will no longer get dirty with the innocents’ blood!
(Repetition) Declaring a commitment to refrain from causing harm.
I will no longer get dirty with the innocents’ blood!
(Repetition) Affirming a refusal to be tainted by innocent blood.
I will no longer get dirty with the innocents’ blood!
(Repetition) Reiterating a steadfast decision against harming innocents.
I will no longer get dirty with the innocents’ blood!
(Repetition) Emphasizing an unwavering commitment to nonviolence.
I will no longer!
Final declaration of the decision to abstain from harm.
