Inhuman Lyrics

Human in humanity

Incurable disease

Our faces look the same

But one will make us tame

Human, inhumanity

From death-bed back to infancy

Through opportunity and time

One rises from filth and grime

He quickly learns the promises

That make people sure to trust

He’s so eloquent and likeable

He must be the best of us, right now we

Need someone to lead us back

To thriving golden days

So we each line up to drink his punch

Pretend it isn’t out of rage

Design a shrine caressed in gold

Form glistening floors of precious stone, and build

Spires that spring to pierce the sky

Banners of silk that softly fly

Assemble everyone and everything

Tell them to bow down low before their King

Tell them to fill their lungs with salt and sing

Of how their prosperity faith will bring

Then lash them on their backs open for each note flat

Make them thankful for their punishment

Convince them suffering will free them all

And if they never doubt they’ll never fall
