And Sadness Will Sear - Trivium

Shepherd is chased by the wolves

Wolves who live by intolerance and hate

For what they couldn’t understand

Blinded and vicious are the beasts

Beating 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, tied, and wondering why

The wolves just couldn’t understand

It’s the preachers and the teachers

Government’s close-minded creatures try 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 A.M., October 12th, when the scarecrow died

A victim of society’s cruelty

It’s 12:53 A.M., 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

(Tied to the fence as they break you)

And sadness will sear

(And sadness will sear)

Cold is the wind that will freeze you

(Cold is the wind that will freeze you)

And sadness will sear

(And sadness will sear)
