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 imminence such innocence Before you have mercy a man of hate We claim it's 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 towards the sky One plucks feathers From wings leather His luck is decreed by Angel Cain It's not too late Open the ruby gate Show mercy before this man of hate Thus is our tale Of woe and wail We tried to enact so faithfully But human kind so frail is blind Our failings do fall As the axe does swing Oh imminence bleed innocence Tormented behold we're all men of hate Bleed innocence such innocence Behold I'm a man of hate --- Man of Hate - Jarboe
