New Ethic Lyrics - Earth Crisis

This is the new ethic. 

Animals' lives are their own and must be given respect. 

Reject the anthropocentric 

falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind 

over the animals. It's time to set them free. Their lives 

reduced to biomachines in the factory, farm and laboratory. 

Dairy, eggs and meat, fur, suede, wool, leather are the end 

products of torture, confinement and murder. 

I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life. 

Wildlifes' right to 

live in peace in their natural environment 

without this civilization's interference can no longer be denied. 

Must no longer be denied. 

To make a civilization worthy of the word civilized the cruelty must end, 

starting within or own lives. Reject the 

anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy 

of mankind over the animals. It's time to set them free. 

Veganism is the essence of compassion and peaceful living. 

The animals are not ours to abuse or dominate. I abjure their use 

out of reverence ... I abjure their use out of reverence ... 

I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.
