Shepherd is chased by the wolves 

Those who live by intolerance and hate

For what they couldnt 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 of wondering why

But just couldn't understand

Is the preachers and the teachers

You are man's close-minded creatures

Trying to teach us to hate 

That which isn't for us 


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
