here's a plague that goes on and on

It's lethal in size and it hurts like a thorn in my side

It's renowned far and wide as the name of our downfall

The name that will bury us all

It's a God among gods

It's a cancer within

It's the father of sin and of love and desire and jealousy

It's the sum of all parts and we call it the human heart

It doesn't know how I take my coffee

It doesn't care how I play my part

It doesn't care about truth or lies

And it never gives any good advice

It doesn't care if I suicide

No consideration for my precious hide

Doesn't give a damn if I stand or fall

And it's got a beat that says it all

Still it's a decent cancer

That's keeping me alive

Eating me alive

There's a kindred of flames

A secret society of one

A spawn of the sun that burns like a candle behind my eyes

A searing light from which I cannot run

It's a thing of beauty and flesh and of stone

Like a castle

A throne

Where kings and queens were crowned to rot

It's the heart of it all and it's the only heart we've got

It doesn't know how I take my coffee

It doesn't care how I play my part

It doesn't care about truth or lies

And it never gives any good advice

It doesn't care if I suicide

No consideration for my precious hide

Doesn't give a damn if I stand or fall

And it's got a beat that says it all

Still it's a decent cancer

That's keeping me alive

Eating me alive
