lyrics

The lies we tell the world
The lies we tell ourselves
The daily masquerade
Twisted games that we play

You shut the door
Stumble to the floor
You’ll open your heart no more

Human condition is terminal

The years I lost away
My own self I betrayed
I’d lost all will to fight
With not a trace in sight

To my fate resigned
Just leave me behind
In a cell of my design

Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
And yet this life could be beautiful
If you just let it be

When your own self you betray
Leave your demons out to play
The abuse hurts just as sure
The harm is still incurred

But I called for help
She saved me from myself
Brought my poor heart back to health

Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
And yet this life could be beautiful
If you just let it be

Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
But we can live before we die
What will you choose to be?

Brilliant modern goth rock. Classic enough for the old school purists and fresh enough for baby bats. Every album is a ripper from start to finish. ks

An absolutely blinding song (pun intended). From the opening bars to the catchy chorus this song reels you in and takes you on a journey. After a few rotations in the car it's become a real earworm! Dex McHenry
