The Cult - Life, Death lyrics

rate me

You break the man, leave the shell on the ground,

What have you done with your own lies, your words.

Shed everything on you, speak everything I’ve seen

So kill your jealousy and watch you bleed.

You can’t destroy them, the beauty and the youth.

You’ll never be them, you never had the truth.

I lay down with the beasts on the ground

The prophets cry in every tear I pray for ever

Shed everything on you, speak everything I’ve seen

So kill your jealousy and watch you still believe.

You can’t destroy them, the beauty and the youth

You’ll never be them, you never had the truth.

Destroy, destroy, destroy it all.

Why I don’t understand. Why you destroy everything so beautiful in your hands.

Come home.

And hate strips it away

The ‘yes’ inside the men

But we’ve a golden loose

And hang you from the stars.
