The Voiceless

from to be alive under the sky. by motum.

about

'The Voiceless' is largely about the suffering of animals and to a greater extent, any sentient being that is not given the right to speak.
The chorus states that it is the consumer, not the producer, who 'makes the kill,' reminding us that as consumers, we all have a choice how much we want to care for, or harm other sentient beings.

lyrics

Go down to the well; bore in and dig it out.
(burn it up and feed your empire)
Stare out across this land; see your footsteps in the sand.
The wind will blow but they’ll never blow away.

**Chorus**
Can you hear the screaming of the voiceless?
Do you care? …that they never had a choice,
cos its pain supplied by your demands, and death by dollar bills,
but if the gun was in your hand, would you make the kill?

Gaze deep into their eyes; tell me, do you recognise who they are ?
(“Brother, please don’t hurt us!”)
Impounded in a rusty cage; never see the sun again.
…and if they could talk, do you wonder what they’d say…

**Chorus**
Well I can hear 100’000 voices
in despair, they’ve been screaming out for ages,
cos its pain supplied by your demands, and death by dollar bills.
Feel the gun - it’s in your hand. Will you make the kill?
