Cry for Help - Bonfire

Have you ever heard a beagle cry

Howling in his pain?

Waiting for his coup de grace in his cage

Do you wonder when you’re playing chess

Where your ivory king is from?

Can you see the elephant croaking in his blood?

Subdue the earth he said

But look what we have done

The pride of creation we’ve been

But what have we become

What would God do, it he was one of us

Would he stop the pain?

What would God do, if he was one of us

Would he light the flame?

Who sheds a tear for the crocodile

That you carry as a bag?

Does your mink coat still keep you warm

When you think about its fate?

It ain’t just another protest song

About laboratory crimes

It’s also a cry for help

For the cowards of our time

For the beauty and eternal youth

And so many human lies

To satisfy man’s vanity

Do we all close our eyes?

What would God do, if he was one of us

Would he stop the pain?

What would God do, if he was one of us

Would he feel the shame?

What would God do, if he was one of us

Would he take the blame?

What would God do, if he was one of us

Would he light the flame?
