Shepherd is chased by the wolves

Wolves who live by intolerance and hate

For what they couldn't understand

Blinded and vicious are the beasts

Needing and ripping at a beautiful human

He did nothing more than be himself



Tied to the fences they break you

And sadness will sear

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

And sadness will sear



Scarecrow is left crucified

Left freezing, bleeding, tired and wondering why

The wolves just couldn't understand

It's the preachers and the teachers

Government's close-minded creatures

Trying to teach us to hate that which is different



Tied to the fences they break you

And sadness will sear

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

And sadness will sear



It's 12:53 AM, October 12th

When the scarecrow died

A victim of society's cruelty



It's 12:53 AM, October 12th

When the shepherd died

The candle's light will alight your departure



Tied to the fences they break you

And sadness will sear

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

And sadness will sear



Tied to the fences they break you

And sadness will sear

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

And sadness will sear
