VIVUS SECTIO - OPPOSING VIVISECTION
(Music and lyrics by Louise du Toit)

I saw the light of day
In a place so far away
From here where I am a prisoner today
I don't recall those years
I have shed too many tears
The memories got lost in all my fears
I fear their burning flames
Their scientific games
I hate it when they tie me up in chains
My heart's still beating strong
But I don't know for how long
For this pain this hurt this torture
Is so wrong

Refrain:
When yet another human comes
To lock me in a cage
When I become the victim of his power and his rage
The only thing that keeps me sane is
When I have faith
That in the light of hope someday
I will be safe.

My home's an iron box
With cables, chains and locks
Where they hold my head between their wired blocks
They investigate my brain
With cruelty and disdain
Causing me excruciating pain
I don't have a name
I'm a puppet in a game
They change the rules but the torture stays the same
I watch them and I see
Murderous eyes staring at me
They are empty souls with a science degree

I live in constant pain
Like piercing, dripping rain
My efforts to survive seem so in vain
I never see the sun
Dance or play or run
My fragile dreams are broken one by one
And somewhere deep inside
A flame seems to have died
This suffering spreads darkness like a tide
So if you know my plight
Please take a stand and fight
FREEDOM is every being's right
