Ola Onabule - The Devoured Man lyrics

rate me

[VERSE 1:]

Back in the day he was so cool

Virtue like a glistening jewel

proud of being incorruptible,

Now he won't scrutinize his soul

And what he's chosen not to know

Beneath a mask of denial and stone

CHORUS :

Its the motion, of stagnation

A wink from temptation

the skirts of wind blown caution

That devalue a man

Greeds belly rumbles

We pause in vain fumbles

A minutes silence in the jungle

For the devoured man

[VERSE 2:]

We know he’ll want to justify

With protestation, testify

We get in line for all he’s left behind

If he behaves it wont be far

It’s just a heartbreaks drive by car

close enough to learn whose loving her

Was it fragile pride, it never falls with grace

It can quit without a single trace

Leaving all it ever craved with bright red hands

Was he an honest man, who planned to slay his price

Till his price came calling more than twice.

Guess now there aint the slightest doubt he understands<br />

<br />
