Album: Threnody (1997)

Instinct Of Pride


Taking, taking the fruit
letting it all wither away
wither away, leaving mere hate
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Fighting, fighting the wars
the enemy slain, spoils for the victor
(yet) mothers in pain, mothers in pain
Dying, dying sea
Our fragile womb, mother of all
all living things, all living things
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Instinct of pride
Think, think we not all
in means of gain, until the womb
can no longer sustain, no longer sustain
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Instinct of pride
