Humanity...

We give out roses
in full bloom bouquets
when what we really need
is love more than roses

we give out roses,
to make tomorrow better
but how can we look at tomorrow
when yesterday still haunts today?

we give out roses
in the hope
the thorns will get them good
we scream as blood and chaos reigns
the pious pray
the weak cry
the intelligent turn blind
and everyone calls for a saviour
we look to the heavens and call for a saviour
but we all fail to see our saviour
who is here

our saviour and destructor alike
Born to us
from sin
from divine
It holds the key
to so much
to so little

our benefactor
our malefactor
with iron hands
with flesh heart
It makes the world revolve
and revolves around the world

It fights with one hand
cleaving the world
and with the other
healing the gashes

In our human form
we fuel its malfeasance
boisterous laughter
we are devils

In our human form
we extend our hands shielding wounded
righteous action
we are gods

our saviour
our destructor
when will we see
right in front of our eyes
we still call out to the heavens
when who can help us is here
when who can destroy us is here

We give out roses
in full bloom bouquets
when what we really need
is love more than roses
