HYËNA

[Verse 1]

When your world is built on golden walls

You don't chase after dreams

I knew nothing of tears and pain

The rock, the vulture, and the chain

[Verse 2]

On the prowl for skin and bone to tear

I'm a skeleton looking for meat to wear

The abject gift, eternity

Making death a victory

[Chorus]

The sum of human wretchedness

Enter the arena

Laughing all the way through the night

I am hyena

[Verse 3]

To me the strife was given by

Your godlike condemnation

I roam the badlands, and my tracks

Leave trails of dеvastation

[Chorus]

In a paradise of locusts

Where bladе and rifle rule the land

All seven senses sharply focused

I gallivant, hyena

[Verse 4]

In your silence lies my sentence

In my soul, a vague repentance

An evil dread, so ill dissembled

And in its grip, the lightning trembles

[Bridge]

Lick my heart, it will poison you

Bad luck I am shunned by the world

Excrement, the grave cave ate

Rotten flesh filth and dirt

[Chorus]

The sum of human wretchedness

Enter the arena

Laughing all the way through the night

I am hyena

*Hyena howls and laughs*

[Chorus]

In a paradise of locusts

Where blade and rifle rule the land

All seven senses sharply focused

I gallivant, hyena

[Outro]

Hyena!

*Hyena laughs*
