So you want to kill me? 
But save more of my kind.
Or you want to own me?
And pretend that it was a fair fight.

You can only feel the power
When I’m down and showered in blood
Tell me what gives you desire, to point your gun and fire a weapon? 

I own the grounds that you’re snaking around.

Hunt me down, I could tear you up with just my angry mouth. 
Don’t that prove, I guess I am just a bit stronger than you.
I suppose you want to feel strength too,
I guess that’s why you do what you do.

So you want to chain me? 
So you can show me to the world? 
I know I can’t blame you
Unlike you, I know my own worth. 

You can only feel the power
When I’m down, and showered in blood.
Tell me what gives you desire, to point your gun and fire a weapon? 

I own the grounds that you’re snaking around.

Hunt me down, I could tear you up with just my angry mouth. 
Don’t that prove, I guess I am just a bit stronger than you.
I suppose you want to feel strength too,
I guess that’s why you do what you do.
