Destroyer 666 - Human All Too Human lyrics

Is it with sadness you hang your head, or shame? Is it your burden that leaves you bloodstained...? No song, no words, will ease your regret No drug, no love will let you forget For they are but fleeting, like words in the wind Wild nights, sobered by the dawn For they are without meaning, like honourless men Broken vows laid bare before the dawn Like a wild dog ensnared, you'll eat yourself free To rejoin the shadow of the hunting jaguar I once believed I held the answer in the palm of my hand And toyed with it like a child No song, no words, will ease your regret No drug, no love will let you forget On the brink of self-annihilation A lightning strike revelation: How easily that we lie for our shallow love and hollow pride How vainly we do attempt to stem the tide of consciousness How easily we are led on the merry dance to our d**h How willing that we follow to our doom, to our sorrow! How entranced we are by the fire Or enslaved to our own desires Human - all too f**ing human! Watch the naked ape Grovelling before the stars Scratching at the sky Your trials and tribulations They reek of self-infatuation Human - all too f**ing human!
