D
When the god of love returns
There'll be hell to pay
Bm D
Though the world may be out of excuses
I know just what I would say
G D
Let the seven trumpets sound
G D
As a locust sky grows dark
Bm D Bm D
But first let's take you on a quick tour of your creation's handiwork
D
Barely got through the prisons and stores
G D
And the pale horse looks a little sick
Bm
Says, "Jesus, you didn't leave a whole lot for me
D Em D
If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?"
F# Bm Am
And we say it's just human, human nature
G Bm
This place is savage and unjust
F#m
We crawled out of the darkness
D Am
And endured your impatience
G G Bm
We're more than willing to adjust
G D A D Am
And now you've got the gall to judge us
A G D
The spider spins his web
D
The tiger stalks his prey
Bm D G Bm D
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
G D
Every monster has a code
D
One that steadies the shaking hand
Bm D
And he's determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can
F# Am
Oh, it's just human, human nature
G Bm
We've got these appetites to serve
F# Am
You must not know the first thing about human beings
G Am G Bm
We're the earth's most soulful predator
Bm G#m D Am
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored
Am
Oh, my Lord
D
We just want light in the dark
G D
Some warmth in the cold
Bm D G D
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know
