[Andrew Combs - Mark of the Man lyrics]
When you look across the water
You cannot see the fire’s climbing higher
Than the trees deaf to their voices
And blind to their reach
This is the mark of the man not the beast
There’s grace that we speak of
In prayer and in love
But when strangers reach out to us
We dare not touch two different targets
Both on their knees
This is the mark of the man not the beast
Out of sight out of mind
Every man for himself me in my bubble
Let ‘em all go to hell
So blame, blame it on voices
Blame it on the laws politician’s choices
Hell, blame it on god gunpowder’s poison
And the spread of disease
This is the mark of the man not the beast
Yeah this is the mark of the man
Not the beast
Yeah this is the mark of the man
Not the beast
You cannot see the fire’s climbing higher
Than the trees deaf to their voices
And blind to their reach
This is the mark of the man not the beast
There’s grace that we speak of
In prayer and in love
But when strangers reach out to us
We dare not touch two different targets
Both on their knees
This is the mark of the man not the beast
Out of sight out of mind
Every man for himself me in my bubble
Let ‘em all go to hell
So blame, blame it on voices
Blame it on the laws politician’s choices
Hell, blame it on god gunpowder’s poison
And the spread of disease
This is the mark of the man not the beast
Yeah this is the mark of the man
Not the beast
Yeah this is the mark of the man
Not the beast
