Animals Songtext
von Artemis & Apollo

Pares fuimus primum (in the beginning we were the same)
Filii matris unius fuerunt (children of the same mother)

Pares fuimus primum
Filii matris unius fuerunt

Pares fuimus primum
Filii matris unius fuerunt

Pares fuimus primum
Filii matris unius fuerunt

Then began
Domination
The prison
Human creation

Break the fences
Destroy the walls

Born as a byproduct of a truly brutal system
Separated from my mother within hours of birth
Still I hear her calling out in desperation
I don′t know it yet, but my time on earth is only a matter of days


We are objects of consumerist desire
Of sick and needy humanity

Break the fences
Destroy the walls

Break the fences
Destroy the walls

Used, abused and discarded
For possession and accumulation

Animals, we are all animals
Animals, we all have pain
Animals, we all want to live
Animals, we all want release

We are killed by greed and power
Painful deaths, no honor, no dignity

Animals, we are all animals
Animals, we all have pain
Animals, we all want to live
Animals, we all want release

Look around you, your life
Look inside, your choices


Language freed man from the present
Created history, created future
Imprisoned others and justified it
Glorified the past, created the future

Responsibility and compassion are also part of creation

Animals, we are all animals
Animals, we all have pain
Animals, we all want to live
Animals, we all want release

Animals
Animals
Animals
