And Sadness Will Sear Lyrics

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,
beating and ripping at a beautiful human,
who did nothing more than be himself.

Tied to the fence as 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,
tied and wondering why.
The wolves just couldn't understand.

It's the preachers and the teachers,
government's close-minded creatures.
Try to teach us to hate,
that which is different.

Tied to the fence as 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 fence as they break you,
and sadness will sear!
Cold is the wind that will freeze you,
and sadness will sear!
