lyrics

At twilight the couples arrive
By midnight they all divide
What seemed planned and pristine
Is a chaos older than you or me
There is no stable system
No one can be trusted
No one is innocent
But there is no final judgment
Nature is indifferent
To malice and kindness
Do you fear chaos?
Do you fear your brothers
Because you fear yourself?
And what you know you’d do
If they all left the room
Once they drink up their courage
The church girls are easy
But when they’re alone
They still count their rosaries
I don’t believe in sin
But what is this affliction
This condition we’re born in
If not a punishment?
The first cell division
The first sex at dawn
Was the talking serpent
That brought us all to harm
But there is no salvation
No light at the end
Do you fear chaos?
Do you hate your sisters
Because you hate yourself?
For what cannot be fixed
For the cruelties we all must commit
At dawn the bird songs commence
And echo through a hungry wilderness
What seemed beautiful and pure
Is a madness with no cure

I don’t believe in freedom
But in the tyranny of genes
I don’t believe in heaven
But I see hell in my dreams
I don’t believe in joy
But gradients of pain
I don’t believe in love
But the utility of hate
I don’t believe in good
But I believe in evil
I don’t believe in God
But I see Satan in the mirror
