More song lyrics from years ago!

Its a weakness of the human race
we feel the need for greed, we
take whats ours, even
the hearts of those most like ourselves
we rip them out, burn them up
in a torrent of flames
our weaknesses exposed
and all that we are
thrown out with the trash

Come, come, help me deliver
flowers to the graves of those
who fell at the hand of sin
who buried the souls
of the ones they loved
whilst the fires burn
and the ashes collect
we sit and wait our turn

In the end we’ll be alone
we’re born alone, we die alone
burning in the hands of sin
burning in the fire
the flames that consume us all

    an enjoyable read. I too lament man’s weaknesses those that I shoulder and those that I dont call my own as well.

    Loneliness and burning are not pleasant thoughts.

    I like it but are we really born alone? I mean there is your mother of course having these insane emotions flowing as you come out, that make you connected to your mother. Then if your father is there he is have emotion from watching the birth. So I not sure about the ending. Not to say its bad.
