Deströyer 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 death
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 fucking 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 fucking human!
