about

The song “ Karma “ was influenced by some famous artwork in Bhagavad Gita depicting a humanoid cow with an axe, about to slaughter a cow with a human head.
I was reflecting on what that artwork means to me, personally. I think the chorus

“ When you consume only fear, it’s not hard to see the cost is their suffering. When death is the only choice, to escape the hell that we have bred them in “ really sums up not only industrialized agriculture but the deeper root of the problem, capitalism. It’s no secret animal agriculture has devastating effects on our planet. We as humans, we selfishly fill our bellies with dead flesh hence the line “ ... and we continue to feed the needs of the tongue.

I tried to write a song about animal rights that wasn’t saying the same thing all these others have already said. My approach was what effect eating animals has on our souls, hence the title “ karma “. I think it’s imperative we take accountability for the seeds we sew, good or bad. -Mark

lyrics

Their life, your meal
The flesh you eat
is a life you steal
Their pain, your pleasure
Hunting for the thrill
You're just a coward
So you feel the need to kill
How can we be so cruel?
To reduce a life to food?

When you consume only fear
It's not hard to see the cost
is their suffering
When death is the only choice
to escape the hell
that we have bred them in

We watch in wonder
as the war rages on
and we continue to feed
the needs of the tongue
How can we be so blind?
We've ignored their cries
Open our eyes to see
to see the truth

When you consume only fear
It's not hard to see the cost
is their suffering
When death is the only choice
to escape the hell
that we have bred them in

We wouldn't do this to our own
When will the values...measure up?
