Human Nature

By MABUS

we kill our children
we kill our children

no remorse
no regrets

we let no emotions
stand in our way

we kill our children
we kill our children

we can't be convinced
trust me i've tried

we can't be stopped
trust me i've tried

violence is our nature
we can't help
our inner desires

we can't be convincced
trust me i've tried

i've used violence
it doesn't work
trust me i've tried

forgivness doesn't work
trust me i've tried

truth doesn't work
trust me i've tried

we're spirling twords
our own
destruction

we can't be stopped
trust me i've tried

we can't be taught
trust me i've tried

we study history
to learn from our mistakes
this doesn't work
trust me i know

our history revels
our destruction
trust me i've seen

the gods can't save us
trust me they've tried

we reject them
but we can't help it

it's our inner drive

to defy truth
to defy reason
to defy our morals
to defy our mistakes

we can't be taught
trust me i've tried
