The Herd of Sorrow

[Verse] Out on the prairie under the pale blue sky, A broken steer sings his mournful cry, His brothers and sisters, they're nowhere to be found, Roaming the pastures, where the echoes drown. [Verse 2] In the still of the night, when the coyotes wail, A chilling story that's too dark to unveil, The cannibal cows, with their red, hungry eyes, Turn on their kind, beneath those starlit skies. [Chorus] Oh, the herd of sorrow, where the grass grows black, A tale of betrayal, no turning back, In their empty eyes, the hunger gnaws, The blood on their muzzles from breaking the laws. [Verse 3] Once they were peaceful, grazing side by side, But famine and madness, they just couldn't hide, Caught in a battle of flesh and bone, Now the prairie’s haunted by their mournful groan. [Verse 4] Old farmer Jacobs, he can't understand, How his gentle herd turned into a brutal band, Day by day, as his heart sinks low, He prays for salvation, though he reaps what he sows. [Chorus] Oh, the herd of sorrow, where the grass grows black, A tale of betrayal, no turning back, In their empty eyes, the hunger gnaws, The blood on their muzzles from breaking the laws.
