Skyclad - Cancer Of The Heart lyrics

Your rating:


There's a simple diagnosis for this vicious symbiosis

feel the growth of rogue psychosis

we are the cause - we are the cure

Across each continent and nation

spread without discrimination,

we refuse our medication - yet inject the virus pure.



Father, mother, sister, brother. Everyone infects each other.

Insidious, incestuous love ?

(A feeling more akin to hate)

Vying constantly for power

and changing sides with every hour,

in homes built with machine-gun-towers,

(the sights trained on the garden-gate).

Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start

for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was Cancer of the heart



[CHORUS]



To show compassion makes you weak

so don't dare turn the other cheek,

Try hard to hide the fear you feel

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel

A naked-ape in the human zoo

you amaze me with the things you do

I watch your pride before the fall

and realise I don t belong at all.



WE try to leave the past behind us

racing onwards - blind and mindless

now the milk of human kindness won't serve for one cup of tea

We sate the hunger - quench the thirst

then lock our doors - expect the worst

be sure and always do to others first what they could do to thee !



It's the biggest contradiction - in terms language could impact

something neither humane or natural - just "Cancer of the heart"



[CHORUS]



To show compassion makes you weak,

so don't dare turn the other cheek.

Try hard to hide the fear you feel -

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel.

A naked-ape in the human-zoo.

you amaze mo with the things you do.

I watch your pride before the fall,

and realise I don't belong at all.



It's replicating culture sprawls when you see red as 'Rose-Bengal'

The anti-body's common sense - intolerance it's best defence.

Microscopic minds can't diagnose the cause before

the symptom shrows.



A grave threat to the rational health -

(be your own physician - heal thyself!).



Seems the biggest contradiction-in-terms language could impart,

something neither humane or natural -just'Cancer Of The Heart'



[CHORUS:]



To show compassion makes you weak,

so don't dare turn the other Cheek.

Try hard to hide the fear you feel -

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel.

A naked-ape in the human-zoo.

you amaze me with the things you do.

I watch your pride before the fall,

and realise l don't belong at all.
