Shepherd is chased by the wolves    Those who live by intolerance and hate   For what they couldnt understand   Blinded and vicious are the beasts   Needing and ripping at a beautiful human   He 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, tired of wondering why   But just couldn't understand   Is the preachers and the teachers   You are man's close-minded creatures   Trying 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
