Cancer Of The Heart - Lyrics by Skyclad


Lyrics
There's a simple diagnosis for this vicious symbiosisfeel the growth of rogue psychosiswe are the cause - we are the cure
Across each continent and nationspread without discrimination,we refuse our medication - yet inject the virus pure.
Father, mother, sister, brother. Everyone infects each other.
Insidious, incestuous love?(A feeling more akin to hate)
Vying constantly for powerand changing sides with every hour,in homes built with machine-gun-towers,(the sights trained on the garden-gate).
Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the startfor though we called it "
Human Nature" - it was Cancer of the heart
To show compassion makes you weakso don't dare turn the other cheek,
Try hard to hide the fear you feelwith a heart of stone and nerves of steel
A naked-ape in the human zooyou amaze me with the things you do
I watch your pride before the falland realise I don t belong at all.WE try to leave the past behind usracing onwards - blind and mindlessnow the milk of human kindness won't serve for one cup of tea
We sate the hunger - quench the thirstthen lock our doors - expect the worstbe sure and always do to others first what they could do to thee!
It's the biggest contradiction - in terms language could impactsomething neither humane or natural - just "
Cancer of the heart"
To show compassion makes you weak,so don't dare turn the other cheek.
Try hard to hide the fear you feel -with a heart of stone and nerves of steel.A naked-ape in the human-zoo.you amaze mo with the things you do.I watch your pride before the fall,and realise I don't belong at all.
It's replicating culture sprawls when you see red as '
Rose-
Bengal'
The anti-body's common sense - intolerance it's best defence.
Microscopic minds can't diagnose the cause beforethe symptom shrows.A grave threat to the rational health -(be your own physician - heal thyself!).
Seems the biggest contradiction-in-terms language could impart,something neither humane or natural - just'
Cancer Of The Heart'
To show compassion makes you weak,so don't dare turn the other Cheek.
Try hard to hide the fear you feel -with a heart of stone and nerves of steel.A naked-ape in the human-zoo.you amaze me with the things you do.I watch your pride before the fall,and realise l don't belong at all.
