Like Beasts Upon Their Prey

"for all men are evil and will always

act according to the wickedness of

their spirits whenever the the chance."

- Niccolo Machiavelli

In the darkened corners of your mind did you ever wonder

That the pain just might be more than you could bear

That the path you chose might tear you asunder

As it led to the fall of all that you once cared

Then reality came,

Unveiled the facade, you felt betrayed

As dreams were torn and a cruel world remained

I never claimed to be a saviour

I never asked to be your god

And your fate will only portray us

At heart what beasts men are...

It was all a dream, and thus it could not last

and the embers forgotten once the light has passed

You never saw it coming, and now it's all too clear

and there's no return for the ghosts are all here

I never claimed to be righteous

I never asked you to crawl

And in this world such a leap of faith

Is soon followed by a fall...

Just remember, that your kind, they'll fall upon you

Like beasts upon their prey

Just remember, that if you let them,

You'll never see another day

So at your last hour

if you need someone to blame

Blame it on the rules

and not the one who played (the game)

I never claimed to be a saviour

I never asked to be your god

Your death will only portray us

At heart what beasts men are...
