Lyrics Think the Adder Benign - Shai Hulud

Think the Adder Benign

Let truth be told,
If not malicious, the nature of humanity is volatile,
Often thoughtlessly brought to irrational ends.
And I have mused on the future that may effect…
Dark times designed of dark minds.
Now please walk with me, my friend,
this is what i believe and know to be true.
I believe and know fear runs deeper than reason,
That rampant weakness is veiled by aggression.
I believe and know defeat is the order of man,
Resting well in euphemism and excuse;
In biting reality, eternally sleepless.
No, I do not believe roses only bloom just to conceal the thorns.
I merely accept the thorn pricked finger bleeds.
It is foolish to think the adder benign.
Let us walk together in acute perception, wake insight from sleep;
Outside of doctrines, anchored in bitter reality.
I will walk with you, my friend.
We will walk…
