Lyrics
Prometheist
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.
Reasonable minds can differ
But where are the reasonable minds?
Eagles may feast on my liver
Still I'll live or die many times
My image serves to be observed and magnified
Circle logic
Thought crime
Kill for kill
Eye for eye
Virus
Parasite
Borne on a meteorite
Can you fashion a man out of clay in your hands?
Who can fashion a man in the way that I can?
You can eat my crumbs, while I walk on your
While I walk on your, while I walk on your thumbs
I'm a generous man
Generous with swift hand
I'm a generous man
I don't mind that you asked
I won't take you to task
I won't take off this mask
Out of clay in a hand
Out of clay you were made
Thus your life is a theft
And the debt will be paid
You can eat my crumbs, while I walk on your
While I walk on your, while I walk on your thumbs
I'm a generous man
Generous with swift hand
I'm a generous man
Out of clay in a hand
Out of clay you were made
Thus your life is a theft
And the debt will be paid
I don't mind that you asked
I won't take you to task
I won't take off this mask
And this mask never cracks
Out of clay you were made
Thus your life is a theft and the debt will be paid
Out of clay you were made
Out of clay you remain
Your life is a theft and the debt will be paid
