From Sugercandy to Shadows (A Fairy Story)

[Verse 1] There’s a dream we hold, a brighter land, A Sugarcandy Mountain where we’ll all stand. The beasts of burden, the downtrodden crew, Rise together, the old will be new. [Pre-Chorus] The Seven Commandments, etched in stone, A promise made: we’ll build our own. No man to rule, only animals now, Rights to every pig, horse, dog, and cow! [Chorus] Four legs good, two legs bad, Freedom’s anthem, the best we’ve had. A farm for all, no whip, no chain, A world reborn, free from pain. [Verse 2] The fields are tilled, the barns are raised, The dawn of justice, the future praised. But whispers grow where shadows creep, As power stirs while others sleep. [Pre-Chorus] The pigs take charge, “It’s for the best,” We trust their word, but doubt’s a guest. They sleep in beds, they start to drink, The Commandments influence begins to shrink. [Chorus] Four legs good, two legs bad, A mantra strong, but the lines grow sad. The rules are bent, the writing fades, A chilling shift in the plans we made. [Bridge] "All animals are equal," the promise sworn, Yet the farm’s ideals are bruised and torn. Commandments change in the dead of night, Pigs stand tall under electric light. [Verse 3] Two legs strut where hooves once stood, A toast to power in the name of good. Sugarcandy fades into the mire, As freedom drowns in the pigs’ empire. [Pre-Chorus] The faces blur, man and beast align, The farm’s new rulers cross the line. They give the farm back its old name, It's all for nothing, they're all the same! [Chorus] All animals are equal, they said with pride, But the truth now walks with a human stride. Four legs falter, two legs thrive, The dream is gone, yet the lie survives. [Outro] The barn is silent, the hope turned ash, The Seven Commandments reduced to trash. A glass is raised, a deal is made, In Sugarcandy's shadow, the dream decayed.
