When your world is built on golden walls You don't chase after dreams I knew nothing of tears and pain The rock, the vulture, and the chain On the prowl for skin and bone to tear I'm a skeleton looking for meat to wear The abject gift, eternity Making death a victory The sum of human wretchedness Enter the arena Laughing all the way through the night I am Hyena To me the strife was given by Your godlike condemnation I roam the badlands In my tracks leave trails of dеvastation In a paradise of locusts Where blade and rifle rule the land All seven senses sharply focused I gallivant, Hyena In your silence Lies my sentence In my soul A vague repentance An evil dread So ill dissembled And in its grip The lightning trembles Lick my heart It will poison you Bad luck I am Shunned by the world Excrement The grave cave ate Rotten flesh Filth and dirt The sum of human wretchedness Enter the arena Laughing all the way through the night I am Hyena In a paradise of locusts Where blade and rifle rule the land All seven senses sharply focused I gallivant, Hyena Hyena
