take pity, please, lord miseryhow shiny your throne as you view the stageoh majesty, you flatter-see before you o'this our humbleplayapplaud the dance-such innocencebefore you, have mercy a man of hatewe sing for thee, lady destinyhow bloody our knees as we kiss your nameoh can it be, kind blasphemyanoint, pray, your servants, offeringthis innocence, such innocencebefore you have mercy a man of hatewe claim its not our faultwe're actors in our guilty missionfor shame is in the thoughtnot our pretty submission:"reveal my good confession what i hope to gaini admit to grand obsession breathing in my veinswatch lovers there pull out their hairso slowly to rise toward the skyone plucks feathers from wings leatherhis luck is decreed from angel cainit's not too late-open the ruby gateshow mercy before this man of hatethus is our tail of woe and wailwe tried to enact so faithfullybut humankind so frail is blindour failings do fall as the ax does swingoh innocence, bleed innocencetormented, behold we're all men of hateplead innocence, such innocence..."behold, i'm a man of hate.
