Story Behind the Song
One of my mother's art students was excited about going on a hunting trip with his father and was delighting in having the opportunity to kill a deer. My mother asked the young boy if he has always had this eagerness to cause the suffering of another life. He replied no, but that his father yelled at him a few years ago when he was feeling empathetic toward a dying deer. "You musn't feel, son, feeling is a sign of weakness. Toughen up, boy!"
Oh, that's right, the deer exist only so humans can destroy the m...so little men can feel like big, strong, powerful MEN.
Frozen hearts, hooded fears
Blind our eyes, silence ears
Indifference is lethal
Lyrics
12. The Most Dangerous Game (Vougeot, Kari Simkins)
apathy seals our fate, and so we wait
fissures become great chasms in our wake
little men in parliament
decide the fate of regiments
distant from a father's door
his young man is lost at war
desol ate hearts, the wasteland plays
its part in The Most Dangerous Game
dying deer, haunted eyes
asks the boy, must i die?
boy asks man, can deer be saved
no, my son, don't ever think that way
CHORUS
hollow hearts play their fatal part in
The Most Dangerous Game
frozen hearts, hooded fears
blind our eyes, silence ears
frightened men minimize war's lament
in wounded eyes
dying boy, haunted eyes
asks the man must i die?
little men in parliament never heard
the son's lament
