And Sadness Will Sear in Trivium

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
