Penance Lyrics

Sit and watch the world, I contemplate
Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate?
Is man of God or just Nature's folly?
Still with intelligence we all are crawling

One step forward and two steps back
Bring Man's destined descent into black

What does existence hold for me?
A mutation of what Man conceives?
Did you ever step back and look at yourself?
You might not like what you see

And with each dawn that brings a new day's breath
For most it means life, but for me it means death

Man is a paradox drowning in irony
The world is chained to Man's reality
Can't you see?
It wasn't meant to be
Not you or me
Humanity...

You're killing me
