"Go around, squat them
Raiding their nests
Go around hurt them
Because I know what's best
It's okay to kill them
Because they are pests...
It's easy to judge them
When you don't feel their pain
It's easy to harm them
You know it's insane
Look at the dead flies
They're dropping
Like rain...
Life after life you took
But did you mourn their death
What did you gain?
From taking their last breath?
God say's you can kill a pest
But he also says to respect his creation
All you gained was a peaceful dinner today
In sacrificing one whole nation
Look around you, the lives you've taken
Just because it's not cute and fluffy
Look at the animal that you've forsaken
Look ahead is your future so hollow?
Look behind you
At the ghosts that follow...
Respect the lives you've taken
Don't leave their souls all forgotten and muddy
Don't kill a bug and step on his dead body...
If you really think one moment of peace is worth another's life
Fair enough
But at least bury it, respect it and give it some love...
All I ask is for you to sit down and count.
Count all the lives you've taken...
Did you know his name?
Did you apologize to her family?
Did you know what she had been through?
To get where she was?
And did you ask him...
What he was doing...
Before you took his life...?
Did you raise her children?
That now are forsaken
Repent...
Repent...
For the lives that you've taken... "-August Kat
