Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who kill
With a venom strong enough to melt the fool upon the hill
Who is eager just to watch and offer infinite advice
As he slips into the liquid of his own self-sacrifice
Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who seize
Upon friendship and devotion as if they were the disease
To be cured of violence, to be cured of death

To be bullied, whitewashed, and despised
Never wondering why the heart is growing black and oversized
Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who lie
With a venom strong enough to melt the fool upon the hill
With the energy of love oozing up into the sky
Spreading rivers of regret, as dark and cold as outer space
And as infinite in madness as the beauty of the chase
Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who kill
With a venom strong enough to melt the fool upon the hill


Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who trust
In the devil and his robbing to deliver what is just
From the hand of he who suffers
To the handshake of the thief
As the ashes of indifference in sin
Ignorate our sleep
Among all of God's creatures, it is only men who cry
And one day when I'm ancient, I will look at you and sigh
As I sink into the places where all I wish I could have been
As I slip beneath the surface of your soft and wrinkled skin
As I sink beneath the surface of your soft and wrinkled skin
As I sink beneath the surface of your soft and wrinkled skin
