Survival of the Species

He was for violence
He was made to kill
He was made for fighting struggle
Muscles, bone, and will
He was a made a protector
He was made to shut
He was built for broken toil
He was built to hunt
From another age
He was built to fight, to hunt
To live outside the cage
Then a thousand years went by
And the world had changed
And all his masters wanted him
And his body to be rearranged
He was told no violence
He was taught to speak
He was taught to make no noise
He made it weak
From another age
He was built to fight, to hunt
To live outside the cage
He was for violence
He was made to kill
He was made for fighting struggle
Muscles, bones, and will
They took on his family
They took his home
He was made to kill
From another age
He was built to fight, to hunt
To live outside the cage
