Paradox

He makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere He learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear See him burning the fruits of his labours And with joy in his heart digs the graves of those That he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim See the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust Killing all those he loves thanking god up above The paradox of man the paradox of man He has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb He's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man And he envies the power of his neighbours And he still fails to see he's become his own Worst enemy oh, will he ever learn? See the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes Wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains The paradox of man the paradox of man He makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere He learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear Soil turn to dust, can his power ever last? The chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past Bitter is his greed, but man will never pay Oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage He has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb He's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man --- Paradox - Threshold
