Matthew was savagely beaten to death because he was gay. He was driven to a remote area, tied to a split-rail fence, tortured, beaten and pistol-whipped by his attackers, while he begged for his life; he was then left for dead in near freezing temperatures. A cyclist who found him some 18 hours after the attack at first mistook him for a scarecrow. His face was caked with blood, except where it had been partially washed clean by tears. Matthew died at 12:53 am on Monday, the 12th of October, 1998. He was 21.

SCARECROW
Melissa Etheridge's Tribute to Matthew Sheppard
Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation, calling up a flood
Of narrow minds who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate
But they tortured you and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you
I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold, carry your soul away
This was our brother
This was our son
This shepherd young and mild
This unassuming one
We all gasp, "this can't happen here"
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide?
But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables
I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold, carry your soul away
I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone's child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate
Mother's neglect
I can forgive,
BUT I WILL NOT FORGET
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Rising above
all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above
all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above
all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above
all in the name of love
