Tears For Animals

Do you have love for humankind?

Heart so hollow I tried to swallow

Pistols, nightshade, ghosts and gallow

All you fellows climbed me like a staircase, wore me down

Smooth from footfall, wore me down

(Wore me down)

Do you have love for humankind?

So long sweet thing, my old man,

Left me grieving, black and blue and tan

I've the feeling you'll be kneeling

When the day turns forever into night

(Hope for healing if you're willing)

Do you have love for humankind?

Orphan girl, child, sing along

Stop the slaughter of our daughters

Poisoning the water

(Do you have love for humankind?)

Heart strings broken, wearily tuned to the moon

Bastard widows born marooned

(Do you have love for humankind?)

Nameless, faceless black-eyed soul

Slave to sorrow, find your way home

Do you have love for humankind?

(Hope for healing if you're willing)

Do you have love for humankind?

(Hope for healing if you're willing)

Do you have love for humankind?
