Protest The Hero - Spoils lyrics

Endowed with the art of casting names upon its being,

The humans claimed dominion over every living fucking thing.

Proud as purpose they became to walk the earth as they arraigned the common creatures caught within the corpus,

Cursed, conscious human brain.

Every word ever written will fall short of its intent,

Even some are spoke or screamed and they will betray what they have meant.

They will betray what they have meant X2

Language is the heart’s lament, a weak attempt to circumvent the loneliness inherent in the search for permanence

(like all the future ghosts who scratch their names in wet cement).

Demeaning meaning as they shout out at the emptiness X2

Abstractions' the stake between the anima and animus.

Deflesh the word as scourge of human destiny.

Behold the world in other people, life is clarity.
