Lest We Die

歌詞

My neighbor is a better man than I And from your hands do all good things derive So if my heart should swell And of itself think well Then humble me till I am fully thine There's war within my fragile skin A violent revolt for mastery over my soul Control is the strong man's hoax Skill and wealth are my only hope A selfish grasping for worthless thrones And it tells me "I am greatest" So I gave it not one inch Still it spread throughout my limbs For my solace in the victory Was the proof of my defeat Who is worth anything apart from you? Who could own anything? My neighbor is a better man than I And from your hands do all good things derive So if my heart should swell And of itself think well Then humble me till I am fully thine I've been turning wine to water And crippling my healthy brothers I'm walking on the ocean floor And stirring up the fiercest storms No I did not pour out these tides Or tell these planets to align My breath could never give new life So why am I so full of pride
