That special alchemy of living behind bars You count the days and wonder where the dreaming starts Their tragic bloodline, so forcefed and enflamed Some reptiles touch the ground while other steal the shade To die alone For the love of life And all the sorrow the world has known Is just ascendance to their throne But better men have all been known To sleep Alone Someone cried form the guardtower For the end of all wars They found him lying in judgement With his face to the floor And the mother of everything Yes she was ignored And the armies advanced As they birthed more and more And all the sorrows the world has known Are just reflections of your own And better men have all been known To sleep... To empower the weak to overpower the strong As nature calls for the death of man To exist alone in freedom and peace And resist the urge to wallow in greed The name of their game is to lose or win And your ego dictates where you can fit in And to win or to lose as their powers increase Is a stake in their claim like a dog on a leash Is the nature of man To be more than a beast (Is the nature of man)
