The Ballad of the Scapegoat and the Mule

(Zachary Stump)

this song is about a man who does what needs to be done, especially if it s for the good of the job. the job is drug running and the organization he works for decides that he may need assistance. little does he know that he will soon be set up to fail and his life forever changed

By Edward McBride


The lyrics tell a poignant story of encountering someone with captivating beauty and personality, only to witness the cruelty of hate that can mar and alter lives forever. The contrast between the initial admiration and the subsequent horror of the acid attack is stark and powerful.

It's a call to action, urging people to confront the darkness with empathy and understanding. The lyrics evoke strong emotions and provoke reflection on the destructive impact of hate and the importance of solidarity and kindness in combatting it.
