The ways of mankind ft. Alicia Diablo Lyrics

There's no future in the past and it doesn't matter

If you don't remember

All the small talk that went nowhere

All the fires that ended up a smoking ember

The ways of mankind are strange

We are the only beasts that love and kill for pleasure

I am done with all of that

Content to live the last hours of my life within some leisure.

If I hurt you, I apologize, my journey was a hard one

In the living and the doing

There was never time to be that mother for my son

The ways of mankind are my excuse,

I won't burden you with reason

When we women came upon the earth

Much men have caused us treason.

David was a good king

But his heart lay in another man's Jezebel

And the goodness disappeared

And like so many others, ended in some hell

It's the ways of mankind to yearn for something

That they should not own

Those that follow down that path,

Invariably, end up alone.

Nothing matters anyway

The grave will swallow all who live upon this land

No need for explanations

When there's no-one left to even bother to understand

The ways of mankind were always going to send us high

And then to bring us down

So I'll stand erect as you bury me

And I will not make a sound.
