Lyrics:

Fight! Run! Hide!
From the predator
Stalk! Kill! Eat!
To stay alive

Broad wings swooping from the sky
Talons grip your head
And rip it from its neck and torso
Sea is filled with hungry teeth
The land with beasts that slither, walk, or run
Looking for a feast

Nature's Law,, tooth and claw
The strong rule the weak

Sleep in your mother's womb
Before you're cast into this cruel dimension
What could you have possible done
To incur this penal term

Pain! Tears! Fear!
That's so well-founded
Snow! Fire! Stay!
One step ahead of death

Water's rising with the flood
It knocks you off your feet
And sweeps you out into the ocean
Fire's raging in the woods
Your house is set ablaze
You watch your loved ones burn alive

Nature is a brutal gardener
With malice and cruelty she plucks

Hide from hot, tropical winds
That whip and lash your skin with delight and purpose
Flood will find you where you hide
And make you slowly die as you spit and sputter
Run into a spider web
So strong it flings you back in the dead of night
Right next to a bubbling creek
Where gators gnash their teeth at your floundering

Run to safety
Where your fellow earthlings await you
To rip you in two and consume your flesh
A tragic ending to the love, time, energy
And devotion
That your parents put into raising you
All creatures are sentenced to b e members of the food chain
And cruelty is encoded in this earthly design
