Protest The Hero - Spoils lyrics

Endowed with the art of casting names
Upon it's beings the humans claim dominion
Over every living fucking thing

Proud as purpose
As they became to walk the earth
As they arraigned the common creatures

Caught within the corpus-cursed
Conscious human brain
Caught within the corpus-cursed
Conscious human brain

Every word ever written will fall short
Of it's intent
Even sung or spoke or screamed
They will betray what they have meant

They will betray what they have meant
They will betray what they have meant

Language is the heart's lament
A weak attempt to circumvent
The loneliness inherent in the
Search for permanence

All the future ghosts
Who scratch their names in wet cement
Demeaning meaning as they shout
Out at the emptiness
Demeaning meaning as they shout
Out at the emptiness
Abstractions are stake between the
Anima and animus

Deflesh the world of human destiny
Behold the world in other people
Life is clarity
