A Man Of Hate

take pity, please, lord misery

how shiny your throne as you view the stage

oh majesty, you flatter-see before you o'this our humble

play

applaud the dance-such innocence

before you, have mercy a man of hate

we sing for thee, lady destiny

how bloody our knees as we kiss your name

oh can it be, kind blasphemy

anoint, pray, your servants, offering

this innocence, such innocence

before you have mercy a man of hate

we claim its not our fault

we're actors in our guilty mission

for shame is in the thought

not our pretty submission:

"reveal my good confession what i hope to gain

i admit to grand obsession breathing in my veins

watch lovers there pull out their hair

so slowly to rise toward the sky

one plucks feathers from wings leather

his luck is decreed from angel cain

it's not too late-open the ruby gate

show mercy before this man of hate

thus is our tail of woe and wail

we tried to enact so faithfully

but humankind so frail is blind

our failings do fall as the ax does swing

oh innocence, bleed innocence

tormented, behold we're all men of hate

plead innocence, such innocence...

"behold, i'm a man of hate.
