When the God of Love Returns There'll Be Hell to Pay |
When the god of love returns |
There’ll be hell to pay |
Though the world may be out of excuse |
I know just what I would say |
That the seven trumpets sound |
As a locust sky grows dark |
But first let’s take you on a quick tour of your creation’s handiwork |
Billy got through the prisons and stores |
And the pale horse looks a little sick |
Says, «Jesus, you didn’t leave a whole lot for me |
If this isn’t hell already then tell me what the hell is?» |
And we say it’s just human, human nature |
This is place is savage and unjust |
We crawled out of the darkness |
And endured your impatience |
We’re more than willing to adjust |
And now you’ve got the gall to judge us |
The spider spins his web |
The tiger stalks his prey |
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay |
Every monster has a code |
One that steadies the shaking hand |
And he’s determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can |
Oh, it’s just human, human nature |
We’ve got these appetites to serve |
You must not know the first thing about human beings |
We’re the earth’s most soulful predator |
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored |
Oh, my Lord |
We just want light in the dark |
Some warmth in the cold |
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know |
