The Red Chord
"Bone Needle"


Your best friend's dying.
Dying at your feet.
You try to wake up - but it's not just a dream.
Never trust the tongue of man.
I've heard the devils are his friends.

So you want to hear the stupid dog song? I see.
Do you think it's funny?
We're talking about life and death.
Does it make you laugh, when the kidneys fail and the hips displace?
I guess we'll really see, what a friendship is worth.

This is the final stand.
Who's standing with me?
Ah, I see how it is.
Never trust a human.
Don't you see - this is reality.
The life and death of a canine.
You can't relate because we're going seven times the speed.

Who is coming down with me.
And what would you have done differently.
This is doggie apocalypse.
Don't do me any favors.
You still want to hear it.
It makes me sick.
It's inconsiderate.
It's inhumane.
It's propaganda.
Don't you get it?

If you could relive, would you take what you know and go for the throat.
Or would you blindly reserve and go down in flames in humble service to the master-owner.
It's inhumane.
Don't you get it?

Put me out of misery.
Don't do me any favors.
You just don't want to clean piss off the floor.
All covered with skin debs.
I guess we'll really see.
After all these years.
How could you do this to me?
Net the bone needle.
What's it mean?

We're talking euthanasia and no I don't mean "how'd you like to be spayed".
After all these years covered with skin debs.
Your humble servant, how could you do this.
