Softer Sounds Lyrics - Horse The Band

The sheep - tonight they weep 

Fear - for the feeding 

Gasp - clutched in groups 

No they don't 

No they don't hope 

The sheep - tonight they weep 

Fear - for the feeding 

Gasp - clutched in groups 

No they don't 

No they don't hope 

These poor sheep tonight they weep 

Begging for death but they settle for sleep 

Sound of grinding metals always looming near by 

Their bodies are caged and now so are their minds 

Ooh, these trembling things 

These poor sheep can't lay their heads down 

(no dreams of softer sounds) 

Blood is in the mud 

Trampled by hooves 

That constantly shake 

And nervously move 

No hope or ambition 

They stay with the group 

These filthy fucking animals 

They're just like you 

Animals 

We're animals 

Animals 

We're animals 

Animals 

We're animals 

And in the twilight swoon 

Under an empty moon 

The creatures stop their shake 

And plan a quick escape 

They're dancing on barbwire 

Fraught with curdled screams 

Messy skins and messy fluids 

Paved a road to golden dreams 

They move in a frenzy 

Across their mothers' backs 

Out into the open 

They don't look back 

Sounds. It rots their minds - Leaves them blind 

Sounds. It rots their brains - Drives them insane 

No dreaming of softer sounds!
