| Is it with sadness you hang your head, or shame?
|
| Is it your burden that leaves you bloodstained???
|
| No song, no words, will ease your regret
|
| No drug, no love will let you forget
|
| For they are but fleeting, like words in the wind
|
| Wild nights, sobered by the dawn
|
| For they are without meaning, like honourless men
|
| Broken vows laid bare before the dawn
|
| Like a wild dog ensnared, you’ll eat yourself free
|
| To rejoin the shadow of the hunting jaguar
|
| I once believed I held the answer in the palm of my hand
|
| And toyed with it like a child
|
| No song, no words, will ease your regret
|
| No drug, no love will let you forget
|
| On the brink of self-annihilation
|
| A lightning strike revelation:
|
| How easily that we lie for our shallow love and hollow pride
|
| How vainly we do attempt to stem the tide of consciousness
|
| How easily we are led on the merry dance to our death
|
| How willing that we follow to our doom, to our sorrow!
|
| How entranced we are by the fire
|
| Or enslaved to our own desires
|
| Human — all too fucking human!
|
| Watch the naked ape
|
| Grovelling before the stars
|
| Scratching at the sky
|
| Your trials and tribulations
|
| They reek of self-infatuation
|
| Human — all too fucking human! |
