Cruelty Without Beauty Lyrics

Lyric discussion by FrightRat 

Cover art for Cruelty Without Beauty lyrics by Arch Enemy

I'm pretty sure it's about animals in laboratories :

"Disinfected torture chamber A scientific abattoir Their death is the price of your progress" "desinfected torture chamber" and "scientific abattoir" refer to a laboratory, to me. The animals die for human progress.

"If these walls could talk They'd scream!" Refers to the suffering that happens in labs.

"Archaic rhetoric your weak defense Your victims have no choice No voice" People who support the use of animals in labs always give the same old arguments ("archaic rhetoric weak defense")

Animals didn't choose to be there, they cab't talk. can't talk. ("no choice", "no voice")

"a plastic bag their burial gown" -> dead animals are disposed of in plastic bags

That's my interpretation. Great song.
