The Animal Trap

The animal trap The artist the athlete the strength of the human condition The leaders still fight Those inner demons Dance death into extinction Loves only threat Humans were a joke Then they reached Olympus Take the waves thrashing the ships Be the conquerer The life that takes The world remakes The feeling so hard and dark At Attention stands the demon man We can walk in the footsteps of tortured and striped bare If you can show you care We never support A gun A good reason A promise to kill us
