Rachael Sage - Among All of God's Creatures Lyrics

Among all of God's creatures it is only men who kill
With the venom strong enough to melt the fool upon the hill
Who is eager just to watch and offer intimate advice
As he slips into the liquid of his own self sacrifice

Among all of God's creatures it is only men who seize
Upon friendship and devotion as if they were the disease
To be cured and violated, white-washed and despised
Never wondering why the heart is growing black and oversized

Among all of God's creatures it is only men who lie
With the energy of lava oozing up into the sky
Spreading rivers of regret as dark and cold as outer-space
And as infinite in madness as the beauty of the chase

Among all of God's creatures it is only men who trust
In the devil and his robin to deliver what is just
From the hand of he who suffers to the handshake of the thief
As the ashes of indifference incinerate our sleep

Among all of God's creatures it is only men who cry
And one day when I'm ancient I will look at you and sigh
As I sink into the places where I'll wish I could've been
As I slip beneath the surface of your soft and wrinkled skin
