The Hand Of Man Lyrics

Come the tides
We hear tell of a mortal season
Fed rife with rhyme and
reason
Tained with despair

Kill-darkened skies
Painted black, so
black with misery
Raining down with the impunity
Oh, the cross we've
brought to bear

In the treason fields
Where man again destroys what
man built
Man wears the weighted cloak of man's guilt
For the blind we
must remind

Raise your eyes
Behind a martyr's mask of
supplication
I find you guilty by association
Mute, somehow
divine

I sing true
I can see right through you
I sing true
I
can see right through you

Thirst for truth
Spit out the lies inside
and search for meaning
The child in your hanging head is bleeding
Another
dream to drown

Ignorance
Seek your knowledge in the volumes of
dust
Render all to ashes and rust
And child, bring that hammer
down

I sing true
I can see right through you
I sing true
I can
see right through you

Oh, these latter days
They bear eternal
winter's coming frost
And the death of innocence
In this dying age we
wander lost

DENY THE HAND OF MAN

Celebrate
Where mercy falls
drunk you'll find me
In the gutter, ever in the company
Of angels and of
kings

Millenium
All the memories will fade like twilight
Take your
place on either side of midnight
And sing, dear brother, sing

I sing
true
I can see right through you

Right on cue
That face you wear
betrays you
