"for all men are evil and will always 
act according to the wickedness of 
their spirits whenever the the chance." 
- Niccolo Machiavelli 

In the darkened corners of your mind did you ever wonder 
That the pain just might be more than you could bear 
That the path you chose might tear you asunder 
As it led to the fall of all that you once cared 

Then reality came, 
Unveiled the facade, you felt betrayed 
As dreams were torn and a cruel world remained 

I never claimed to be a saviour 
I never asked to be your god 
And your fate will only portray us 
At heart what beasts men are... 

It was all a dream, and thus it could not last 
and the embers forgotten once the light has passed 
You never saw it coming, and now it's all too clear 
and there's no return for the ghosts are all here 

I never claimed to be righteous 
I never asked you to crawl 
And in this world such a leap of faith 
Is soon followed by a fall... 

Just remember, that your kind, they'll fall upon you 
Like beasts upon their prey 
Just remember, that if you let them, 
You'll never see another day 

So at your last hour 
if you need someone to blame 
Blame it on the rules 
and not the one who played (the game) 

I never claimed to be a saviour 
I never asked to be your god 
Your death will only portray us 
At heart what beasts men are...
