Lyrics

Shepherd is chased by the wolves

Shepherd is pursued by intolerant and hateful wolves.

Wolves who live by intolerance and hate

Wolves thrive on intolerance and hate.

For what they couldn't understand

Wolves couldn't comprehend something and reacted negatively.

Blinded and vicious are the beasts

The wolves are blinded and vicious.

Needing and ripping at a beautiful human

Wolves attack a beautiful human, tearing at them.

He did nothing more than be himself

The human did nothing but be true to themselves.


Tied to the fences they break you

Being tied to fences, one is broken by external forces.

And sadness will sear

Profound sadness will burn deeply.

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

The wind is cold, symbolizing harsh conditions.

And sadness will sear

Sadness will burn deeply in challenging circumstances.


Scarecrow is left crucified

Scarecrow is left crucified, suffering and questioning.

Left freezing, bleeding, tired and wondering why

Scarecrow is abandoned, cold, bleeding, and weary.

The wolves just couldn't understand

Wolves fail to understand the scarecrow's plight.

It's the preachers and the teachers

Blame is placed on preachers and teachers.

Government's close-minded creatures

Government's close-minded creatures contribute to intolerance.

Trying to teach us to hate that which is different

Teaching hatred for what is different is condemned.


Tied to the fences they break you

Being tied to fences, one is broken by external forces.

And sadness will sear

Profound sadness will burn deeply.

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

The wind is cold, symbolizing harsh conditions.

And sadness will sear

Sadness will burn deeply in challenging circumstances.


It's 12:53 AM, October 12th

Specific date and time marking a significant event.

When the scarecrow died

The scarecrow's death at 12:53 AM, October 12th.

A victim of society's cruelty

The scarecrow becomes a victim of societal cruelty.


It's 12:53 AM, October 12th

Same date and time, marking the shepherd's death.

When the shepherd died

A candle symbolizes the departure of the shepherd.

The candle's light will alight your departure

Light signifies the departure of the shepherd.


Tied to the fences they break you

Being tied to fences, one is broken by external forces.

And sadness will sear

Profound sadness will burn deeply.

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

The wind is cold, symbolizing harsh conditions.

And sadness will sear

Sadness will burn deeply in challenging circumstances.


Tied to the fences they break you

Being tied to fences, one is broken by external forces.

And sadness will sear

Profound sadness will burn deeply.

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

The wind is cold, symbolizing harsh conditions.

And sadness will sear

Sadness will burn deeply in challenging circumstances.
