Totally change opinion to lyrics which i firstly found shitty and anti-animal / anti-wolves after reading about Matt Sheperd. Rest in peace... (and sorry for bad grammar)

And Sadness Will Sear ----------------------------- Shepard is chased by the wolves Wolves who live by intolerance and hate For what they couldnt understand Blinded and vicious are the beasts Needing and ripping at a beautiful human Who did nothing more than be himself Tied to the fence as 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 The wolves just couldn't understand It's the preachers and the teachers Government's close-minded creatures Trying to teach us to hate That which is different Tied to the fence as 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 fence as they break you And sadness will sear Cold is the wind that will freeze you And Sadness will sear Tied to the fence as they break you And sadness will sear Cold is the wind that will freeze you And Sadness will sear ----------------------------------------- The story behind the above lyrics- The true story of a hate crime against beautiful Matthew Shepard, which led to his death in October 1998. Shortly after midnight on October 7, 1998, 21-year-old Shepard met McKinney and Henderson in a bar. According to McKinney, Shepard asked them for a ride home. Subsequently, Shepard was robbed, severely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die. McKinney and Henderson also found out his address, intending to burglarize his home. Shepard was discovered by a bicyclist 18 hours later, still alive but unconscious. Shepard suffered a fracture from the back of his head to the front of his right ear. He had severe brain stem damage, which affected his body's ability to regulate heart rate, body temperature and other vital signs. There were also about a dozen small lacerations around his head, face and neck. His injuries were deemed too severe for doctors to operate. Shepard never regained consciousness and remained on full life support. He was pronounced dead at 12:53 a.m. on October 12 at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins. Police arrested McKinney and Henderson shortly thereafter, finding the bloody gun as well as the victim's shoes and wallet in their truck. The two men had attempted to get their girlfriends to provide alibis. ___________ Here are some links to more details on this hate crime and also I recommend a visit to the site http://www.HateCrimes.org. http://members.aol.com/arisiaart/Matt.html http://www.wiredstrategies.com/shepardx.html http://socalmuchacha.wordpress.com/2007/12/07/very-disappointing-news-matthew-shepard-act-hate-crimes-bill-derailed/
