"Lay Waste To The Human Race" lyrics

"Lay Waste To The Human Race"

Have you ever seen the sunrise coming down
Then laugh yourself to sleep at all these clowns?
Have you ever been in a fist fight
With somebody whom you used to call a friend?
Is this when you begin to live again?

Did you spend every weekend in the sun?
Do you hold those moments like a loaded gun?
Did you swallow all your sorrows?
Did you try and shoot up every tear?
Did you really beat the shit out of everything you fear?

Nevertheless the silhouette of Death
Is etched into the skull
Far beyond the world you regret
And Her embrace feels something like God
Laying waste to the human race

Do you know what will happen when I die?
Should I be afraid of some old man in the sky?
If I give my soul to Jesus do I get to know where the devil lives?
Do I get to see his tail curling in the wind?

And I wonder why you never left this town
Or why you never burned that old church to the ground
You, broken on the side of the road
Just need a couple jumper cables to your soul
Which one grew old? You're all the rock and roll

Nevertheless the silhouette of Death
Is etched into your mind
Far beyond some world you regret
And our embrace feels something like God
Laying waste to the human race
Laying waste to the human race
Laying waste to the human race

I'm on a holy mission, a quest for revenge
Against everything and everybody who has ever done me wrong
