One Man's Failure Lyrics - Singles - Atomizer

Paranoia filled his heart 

It was the prophecy that stood to tear his world apart 

The wise foresaw the birth of a son 

Who would teach of a life beyond this mortal one 

Through arrogance and a desire to remain you know 

It's like a beast that rises across the sky 

Paranoia declared that child must die 

Slay all the sons that are less than two 

And thus the cruelest campaign did ensue 

It did, despite his arrogance and a desire to remain well you know 

This was the moment in time, when all could have been reversed 

When those who did stand by, who allowed the ensuing madness to reign 

One moment in time, when all could have been reversed 

When paranoia's throne was usurped, when the flesh of your saviour should have burned 

Like a star, like that beacon in the night 

But paranoia was betrayed by the enlightened that lead the way 

And despite all the steel that carved through the young flesh 

Paranoia's authority was trampled on 

The flesh of your saviour should burn 

And from the day we're born until the day we die 

The shackles that bind us men and women of the west 

That would never have been, oh a fucking nightmare 

Nightmare, the nightmare cometh, paranoia's failure set that faith aflame
