Life Substance #44 - The "Animal" at its Culmination or The Godless Materialist

(Verse 1) I trust my eyes, I trust my hands. I draw the borders, I rule the lands. There is no spirit, there is no ghost. I am the one who matters most. I need no prayers, I need no grace. I am the winner of the race. (Chorus) I am the animal, standing tall! The brilliant beast that takes it all. No gods to fear, no heaven's gate. I am the master of my fate. A godless mind, a world of stone. I sit upon an earthly throne. Just flesh and blood, just bone and skin. I only play the game to win! (Verse 2) I build the towers, I print the gold. I buy the truth, it’s bought and sold. No angels singing in the sky. You live, you struggle, and you die. I use my brain, I bare my teeth. There is no meaning underneath. (Chorus) I am the animal, standing tall! The brilliant beast that takes it all. No gods to fear, no heaven's gate. I am the master of my fate. A godless mind, a world of stone. I sit upon an earthly throne. Just flesh and blood, just bone and skin. I only play the game to win! (Bridge) A human face, a clever brain. But just a wolf out in the rain. I measure life in what I hold. My universe is dark and cold. No right or wrong, just weak and strong. This is the world where I belong! (Chorus) I am the animal, standing tall! The brilliant beast that takes it all. No gods to fear, no heaven's gate. I am the master of my fate. A godless mind, a world of stone. I sit upon an earthly throne. Just flesh and blood, just bone and skin. I only play the game to win! (Outro) The perfect beast. The godless mind. I leave the fairy tales behind. I rule the earth. I take it all. I am the animal, standing tall. [End]
