Mere Men

Now who's sexist?

We are but men

Men, so weak, lost in our ambitions

Blinded by our own esteem

Finding value in the wrongs we do

Conquer nations

Kill people

Destroy kingdoms

All for the glory of power and pride

Blood hungry hearts, battle-mad vermin

Vanquished by lust and greed

All of stone yet crumbles

Like clay confronted by a woman's smile

Warrior, conqueror, the greatest liability

Is one's most valuable asset

Heart of lead, one's weakness is one's heart itself
