about

Growing up in Turkey, we've all had to witness how the streets were covered in body parts and bones of innocent animals every year on Eid al-Adha, while they were being slaughtered in the name of sacrifice, a religious practice of the past that is still being carried on today. Some of us had to watch the suffering of dying animals when they were bleeding their lives out of their throats. These were often the animals we had connected with before their throats were brutally cut. While we're not militant anti-theists who think all religion should be erased, we recognize the anthropocentric views and practices of said religions to be a huge obstacle on the road to animal liberation. It's time we leave them in the past and end this suffering.

lyrics

Pave the streets with claret pieces of flesh
The way to your unjust perfection
A vital delusion of superiority
Everything must suffer for humanity

As the replacement for a patriarch's son
Generations after generations animals die
As the forgotten children who bleed the same
In the shadow of cruel rituals their souls descend

Drop your holy blade
Sacrilegious acts to liberate
To end this bloodshed
No holy creation
In death and destruction
What god would keep you closer
When his love remains inequal?

Break the chain
Liberate the "loftiest" s victims
Empty all cages
Wage war, the voice of the silent

Separate from the blind faith
Reject this bloodshed

When your devotion is to slit throats
My prayer shall be arson
When you take innocent lives in the name of sacrifice
Sacrilige is the right, in defense of all life

Killer, I reject you your right to slaughter.
