Shepherd is chased by the wolves Wolves who lived by intolerance and hate For what they couldnt understand Blinded and vicious are the beasts Beating and ripping at a beautiful human Who 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, tied and wondering why The wolves couldn't understand Is the preachers and the teachers Government's close-minded creatures Try to teach us to hate That which is different 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
