Song | Like Beasts Upon Their Prey |
Artist | Soulfallen |
Album | World Expiration |
"For all men are evil and will always act | |
According to the wickedness of their spirits | |
Whenever the chance." | |
[Niccolò Machiavelli] | |
In the darkened corners of your mind, did you ever wonder | |
That the pain just might be more than you could bear | |
The path you chose might tear you asunder | |
As it led to the fall of all that you once cared | |
Then reality came | |
Unveiled the facade, you felt betrayed | |
As dreams were torn and a cruel world remained | |
I never claimed to be a saviour | |
I never asked to be your god | |
And your fate will only portray us | |
At heart, what beasts men are... | |
It was all a dream, and thus it could not last | |
And the embers forgotten once the light has passed | |
You never saw it coming, and now it's all too clear | |
And there's no return, for the ghosts are all here | |
I never claimed to be righteous | |
I never asked you to crawl | |
And in this world, such a leap of faith | |
Is soon followed by a fall... | |
Just remember, that your kind, they'll fall upon you | |
Like beasts upon their prey | |
Just remember, that if you let them | |
You'll never see another day | |
So at your last hour | |
If you need someone to blame | |
Blame it on the rules | |
And not the one who played (the game) | |
I never claimed to be a saviour | |
I never asked to be your god | |
Your death will only portray us | |
At heart what beasts men are... |
" For all men are evil and will always act | |
According to the wickedness of their spirits | |
Whenever the chance." | |
