Don Rosenbaum - Thou shalt not kill -

The wild hog asked the deer why do they kill us,
tell me what have we done to deserve so much pain.
They skin us first and after that they’ll grill us
as is from the start our birth was in vain.
How can a life that comes in jubilation
be ended so mean and so cruel ?
We animals we were the first creation,
we are living by the rule and for harmony we strive
all our life…

And so it is not royal and far from loyal to all
who are human still, Thou shalt not kill……

The deer then asked the fox why do they chase us
we’ve done nothing wrong to be struck by a fist
They mercilessly beat us and erase us
as if we have not the right to exist
How can a man of honour be so blinded
and how can this bloodshed still be ?
When man wants peace I’m sure he’s gonna find it
there's beauty all around, for all creatures he can see
so let it be …

And so it is not royal and far from loyal to all
who are human still……..

Thou shalt not kill for no reason,
so live your life in harmony.
With all the creatures all around
there’s nothing better to be found
to give your love to and your sympathy,
it’s meant to be…

And so it is not royal and far from loyal
to all who are human still, Thou shalt not kill
