KMFDM - Hyëna

When your world is built on golden walls
You don't chase after dreams
I knew nothing of tears and pain
The rock, the vulture, and the chain

On the prowl for skin and bone to tear
I'm a skeleton looking for meat to wear
The abject gift, eternity
Making death a victory

The sum of human wretchedness
Enter the arena
Laughing all the way through the night
I am Hyena
To me the strife was given by
Your godlike condemnation
I roam the badlands
In my tracks leave trails of dеvastation

In a paradise of locusts
Where blade and rifle rule the land
All seven senses sharply focused
I gallivant, Hyena

In your silence
Lies my sentence
In my soul
A vague repentance
An evil dread
So ill dissembled
And in its grip
The lightning trembles

Lick my heart
It will poison you
Bad luck I am
Shunned by the world
Excrement
The grave cave ate
Rotten flesh
Filth and dirt

The sum of human wretchedness
Enter the arena
Laughing all the way through the night
I am Hyena

In a paradise of locusts
Where blade and rifle rule the land
All seven senses sharply focused
I gallivant, Hyena

Hyena
