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.
