We're Here For A Cause

Defend the cause and spread the word
Defend the cause, make your voice heard
Moral and mental progress can be judged by the way
We treat animals – that's our cause, we do as we say
The voice of the world's conscience, that's what we are
However you may try to suppress it, you surely won't get far
At the mercy of mankind with no chance to fight
Who's the one to show the world how to treat them right?
All have their role to play and their place, there is no doubt
None is futile or harmful, they all balance out
We're here for a cause, laying down the law
Moral and mental progress can be judged by the way
We treat animals – that's our cause, we do as we say
Haven't you learned your lesson in eco-ethic yet?
Come and get a closer view now, the closest you can get
We're here for a cause, laying down the law

Steal To Breed
03:06
|
|
||
Bred in the dirt, loaded in trucks by the thousand,
In boxes piled up
Living consumer goods, hungry and thirsty
Some won't live to see the end of the journey
Steal to breed
Cripple and kill
Steal to breed
Luxury pastime or dog fight –
As long as it pays it's all right
Dished up or used in labs
How cruel fate can get?
Nothing matters but multiple profit
Steal to breed
Cripple and kill
Steal to breed
Buy out of pity or stupidity –
Extend and multiply
The breeding stock's misery
Soulless profiteers
If ever get caught
No punishment would be harsh enough
Steal to breed
Cripple and kill
Steal to breed

Plunderers Of The Earth
02:43
|
|

Do we, human beings still have any conscience?
Corporate power has no moral sense:
Its one and only aim's to devour
As much as it can, at anyone's expense
Wrong way
Dead-end
Too late
To mend
Doesn't it make you wonder
My fellow plunderers?
We're all going under
My fellow plunderers
Plunderers of the Earth
The Earth's living systems are all in decline now,
Natural resources are wasted away
And only the message of a sustainable economy
Is what we can convey
Wrong way
Dead-end
Too late
To mend
Doesn't it make you wonder
My fellow plunderers?
We're all going under
My fellow plunderers
Plunderers of the Earth

Hyrcanian
03:08
|
|
||
Noble yet untamed,
A feline known by many names
Bright pelage, cinnamon stripes,
Predominant in size
Caucasus southeast
The Caspian sea,
As far as the Altai –
This is where his race reigned supreme
Hyrcanian – rang a solemn tone
Hyrcanian – until overthrown
The biggest of his kind
Out of sight, not out of mind
Amu-Darya his last retreat,
Then his extinction was complete
Claims of him being sighted still
No-one proves, no-one will
Reckless abandon,
Colonization,
Habitat waning –
All this led to extermination
Hyrcanian – rang a solemn tone
Hyrcanian – until overthrown
The biggest of his kind
Out of sight, not out of mind

Altamira
02:42
|
|
||
Symbol of fertility, ritual of plenty
Life itself is at stake –
That's when the choice is made
Altamira
Inception and preservation,
The highest form of art creation
The universal treasury of spirituality
Altamira
All signs have been given,
Even for the age we live in
With brightness shining, got to let the light in
So that life can evolve
Otherwise it's going to dissolve
Altamira
All signs have been given,
Even for the age we live in
All sings given...
All signs given...
...In Altamira

Dog Abuser

Going home, what's that you see? Wouldn't it make anyone angry?
There's a man... and his hound held on a short leash, kicked around
You read about it every day, you shrug your shoulders and look away
What does it take to make you see that idleness is complicity?
Violence is breaking loose – animal abuse
And now it's on the news – stand accused
You don't have any respect for animals at all
You don't have any respect for life at all
Trembling, whining, bleeding but there's no sign of conceding
On top of this, a cigarette being put out on the dog's back
You read about it every day, you shrug your shoulders and look away
What does it take to make you see that idleness is complicity?
Violence is breaking loose – animal abuse
And now it's on the news – stand accused
Apologies profuse – there's no use
Being a bastard is no excuse – stand accused
Guilty as charged
You read about it every day, you shrug your shoulders and look away –
I won’t stand for you and this society of ignorance and cruelty
That’s able to patiently endure such senseless torture so rest assured
Cries of protest will not be drowned, what goes around always comes around
Violence is breaking loose – animal abuse
And now it's on the news – stand accused
You don't have any respect for animals at all
You don't have any respect for life at all

Indirect Genocide
03:57
|
|

The Indians relied upon and hunted the buffalo for thousands of years. It provided them everything they needed. Not the smallest part of it was wasted:
Skin and flesh, sinew and bone... truly gave them all they owned.
Their food, clothing, shelter, the center of their belief –
They could have lived with the bison for eternity
Hold on to pride and tradition
Or else you will face expiration
Then, with the arrival of the white man, started the gradual process of the buffalo massacre that reached full momentum in the 1870s.
Decimated the buffalo, the Indians' spirit crushed also
Sustenance extinguished, indirect genocide
Today as a necessity exemplified
Hold on to pride and tradition
Or else you will face expiration

Coastal waters, estuaries, open seas –
Fishing grounds depleted through centuries
Barely twenty-five percent still intact
Needs increasing, no-one seems to react
Set it out at night, pull it in at dawn
Scoop them up by the ton
No matter how much seafood's sold
The by-catch will be hundredfold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Bottom trawlers scraping the ocean bed
Frail habitats crushed and left for dead
Driftnet vessels making their foray
Catching and killing all that gets in their way
No matter how much seafood's sold
The by-catch will be hundredfold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Set it out at night, pull it in at dawn
Scoop them up by the ton
What will survive from days of old?
Nothing but slime and water mold
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll
Fading at an alarming rate –
All gone by 2048
Unrestrained and out of control
Overfishing is taking its toll

The Last One In The Wild
08:43

Gunshots inside the fence, leaving no chance
No chance at all for resistance
Death by torture impends
Marking the end of a wretched existence
Bred in a state of disconnection,
Only got killed for trophy collection
Tumbling down… Struggling up… Thrashing around… Exitus
Showing no repentance or shame,
Another big game has just been overpowered
Feeling so courageous, the one who carries the gun –
Yet such a gutless coward
Fire one more shot, watch him bleed to death
Pose for a picture, make sure you won't forget
Tumbling down… Struggling up… Thrashing around… Exitus
Stop! Cease canned hunting
Stop! No compromise!
Stop! Cease canned hunting
Stop this cruel and pointless demise
The last one in the wild
A lonely roar echoes across the plain, unanswered
His kind wiped out, he alone must safeguard his own survival
Just one bullet
Striking center mass
Then bleed the kill quickly
Sever the head and shoulders
A trophy on the wall
Let a painted trail of blood
Greet dinner guests within the hall
The corner of smiling lips
Stretched and stitched around the back
That smile would last forever
If only the animals could shoot back
Drain lifeless veins
Replace your eyes with glass
The game will change forever
When the animals shoot back
Tumbling down… Struggling up… Thrashing around… Exitus
