Lyrics
Human Seed
Now we kneel before our masters
Taste the tears and salt the wound
All we are belongs to someone
Far removed
Try your luck pass through the fences
Now your gone but no defenses
Nowhere to run so back you come
It?s just not your day
Once the sun had fun just shining
Now we burn in occupation
We used to say Ma Nature?s stronger
But now we know
All you want is to be feel special
don?t let those shadows take your eyes
Jealous hunger calls for carnage as it feeds
but this human seed
unconsumed from deep in you
remains alive
inside of me
inside
inside of me
you sang the desert?s murmur
but laughter never gets forgiven
the iron finger angers and blows you away
you could have held it back
you could have loved survival
but you don?t give a fuck about
anyone?s blackheart bible
Yea you just weren?t afraid
They murder when you get too special
Stop your voice and
Cut your body down
But we?re not only made of
bones and blood and sighs
and they won?t look you in the eyes
unconsumed from deep in you
this human seed remains alive
inside of me
inside
inside of me
inside
inside of me
in the memory of Lunes Matoub (beber singer)
