I was not bred for this
That much is true
To see animals that are
Go to a zoo
I was not born tame
My soul runs wild
Captivity shackles
The mind of a child

Battle with virtues
The war is lost
Eternal enemies
Have paid the cost
Spoiled victors
Lose their edge
Divided loyalties
Gain a wedge

Light beckons
Dark as well
Fire illuminates
The gates of hell

I was not bred for this
That much is true
To see animals that are
Go to a zoo
Glass admits
A subtle glance
Beasts reflect
With defensive stance
Time and pressure
Break the hardened
Used and abused
Sold for a bargain
New exhibit!
Come one, come all!
Our pride and joy
About to fall

Eyes of a rebel
Pierce the abyss
Mouth of a servant
Speaks with lisp
Moments pass
Chains grow heavy
Shaky faith
Once was steady
Open the cage
Touch the jungle
"I'd rather not"
His tone a mumble
That dream passed
I'm good for now
Ask not where! Or when!
But who?! And how?!

I was not bred for this
That much is true
To see animals that are
Go to a zoo
