Will you still remember me after the garden of gethsemane is left behind us, so why can’t we just overcome the demons, be together and free I always thought that we would share a solid bond But thanks to you I don’t know, no wrong from right I always thought that we would stand on solid ground But thanks to you I don’t know if I can make it out alive The ground is shaking and I can’t breathe, but please don’t get near to me The foundation fading away, but I’m too afraid to see The ground won’t carry us both, so keep yourself away from me I could not stand your betrayal, but my heart still yearns for the Veritable love - that only you could give The familiar warmth - I don’t want to relinquish The crowd is cheering but I can’t win and still I’m trying for you The walls are closing in, theres nowhere left to flee Strange eyes keep feasting on me, with my last strength I’m reaching for you I could not believe your betrayal, but still my blood is spilled for thee For as long as I can remember, you have been at my side You’ve raised me, fed me, told me everything I know about this life So, if there even is anyone that I can call family in this world, then it is you And for as longs as you’re with me, I can stand it all, I can endure anything It is not pain or death that scare me, oh no, for I’ve already seen their faces many times before What does scare me is having to witness how someone I love gets hurt or is taken away from me I am afraid of the thought to be separated from you - I am afraid to lose you! And if you think about someone like that, it doesn’t matter if you’re kindred or not, because then, this is family… I’m afraid of the thought to be separated from you I’m afraid of the thought to lose you Will you still remember me after the garden of gethsemane is left behind us, so why can’t we just overcome the demons, be together and free The Kiss of Judas, so bitter-sweet The greatest betrayal, despicable

The lyrics of this song are written from the perspective of the compassionate, sentient being shown in the cover picture.
It shows the final moments in the life of this empathic individual and his "breeder", who'd raised him and cared for him most of his life. Once grown, he was sold for bullfighting. As he was in the ring, being hideously tortured for the amusement of the sick and mindless spectators, he spied his beloved and trusted "friend" in the crowd and hoping for help and relief, ran to him. Yet, the perfidious "kiss of judas" was all he received.

Our suffering is not different from theirs. All of us are capable of building complex emotions and strong (even interracial) relationships. The only diference is in the apperception - but then why do we allow our pets these desires, wishes and thought, while we deny them to our cattle and "lifestock"? The answer is: Carnism.
