Everon Flesh Lyrics

Flesh Lyrics

Here in this night

In the darkest of hours

I feel a cold wind that tells

Of a storm front drawing near



It speaks of greed and of hunger

Of envy and dread

Tells of the anger and hate

That arose from the fear



Who said life's easy

Who said life's fair

Who said good luck will be with those who dare



To follow their heart, and not follow their fear

And if the good all die young

Then who are all those still here



Take a look around you

See what you've got

You just see what you don't have

And of that you still have a lot



The sky is the limit

The sky's not enough

The tough keep going

Not only when the going gets rough



It seems we all

Don't worry much

About what is happening

Left and right of us



But even if I try my hardest

Not to care

One question remains

And I'd like to hear your answer



Acting on target

At robotic speed

Recklessly feeding

Your robotic needs



No minute wasted

Emotions refused

Your brain's exploited

Your heart remains unused



It seems we all...



Name your price

How much is it to buy your loyalty

I'll do so, if I can afford



Name your price

How much do you charge to show remorse

To throw your indifference overboard



Won't you once

Think just a little while about

What you will leave behind

When you decease



Won't you once

Just once be good for something

Good for someone

Good for yourself at least



Here in this night

In the darkest of hours

I feel a cold wind that tells

Of a storm front drawing near



It speaks of greed and of hunger

Of envy and dread

Tells of the anger and hate

That arose from the fear



Who said life's easy

And who said life's fair

Who said good luck will be with those who dare



To follow their heart not their fear

And if it's hope that dies last

Why do all us hopeless still live



Brother kills sister

Father kills son

Religion kills reason

Reason becomes undone



The end always

Justifies the means

Just running a program

Rooted deeply in our genes



It seems we all...



Name your price...



I have no faith

In a God above

But if I had

Then this would be my prayer:



Oh Seven Seas

Raise all your waves

And take this Flesh back home
