Song language: English
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 |
