he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere |
|
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear |
|
see him burning the fruits of his labours |
|
and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those |
|
that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim |
|
see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust |
|
killing all those he loves thanking god up above |
|
the paradox of man the paradox of man |
|
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb |
|
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man |
|
and he envies the power of his neighbours |
|
and he still fails to see he's become his own |
|
worst enemy oh, will he ever learn? |
|
see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes |
|
wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains |
|
the paradox of man the paradox of man |
|
he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere |
|
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear |
|
soil turn to dust, can his power ever last? |
|
the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past |
|
bitter is his greed, but man will never pay |
|
oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage |
|
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb |
|
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man |
