Cruel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fire below us today
The gods above have turned away
The better you do, more you ache
The more love you make, more they take
We know that praying’s no use
But sometimes that’s all we can do
The black rain keeps singing the blues
Reminding us “we’re all born to lose”
The world is cruel
Sad, but it’s oh so true
Do you enjoy watching me
Swimming in my misery?
Is it my blood that tastes so sweet?
Is your victory my defeat?
Darkening sky is so high
I’m down here wondering why
You violate and deprive
Why do you keep me alive?
The world is cruel
What did I do to you?
You ripping my heart in two
