The Cult - Life > Death Lyrics

You break the man, leave its 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.
