Band Of Mercy - Stewards of the Earth

LYRICS :

You speak of dominion as if it is
A god-given right to torture
Defenseless creatures you put on this earth
And deprive them of their nature
But where in your book does it say
Animals are nothing more than machines
For you to use, for you to abuse?

For all your crimes against nature, you’re gonna burn
Animals deserve to live as they please, you’re gonna learn
Institutions without mercy, you’re all gonna burn
If you’re not a Steward of the Earth, then you’re gonna learn
(You’re gonna burn!)

You speak of humanity as if it is
The only species that matters
Though humans cause more pain to the earth
Than any other
Do you really think your god will save
Your soul despite the mess you’ve made?
Either way, we’re gonna make sure
Your dues are paid

For all your crimes against nature, you’re gonna burn
Animals deserve to live as they please, you’re gonna learn
Institutions without mercy, you’re all gonna burn
If you’re not a Steward of the Earth, then you’re gonna learn
(You’re gonna burn!)

Burn, motherfucker, burn!

Factory farms and laboratories, they’re all gonna burn
Captive breeders and vivisectors, you’re all gonna learn
There may be no god to judge you, but (believe us) you’re gonna burn
Dominion ain’t no excuse for torture, and you’re gonna learn
