Beyond The Pale Lyrics - Exhibit B: The Human Condition - Exodus

Sinners heart can't think or feel 

The sharp sting of slicing steel 

Punish, kill, repeat 

The death caress, so bittersweet 

I live outside the rule of law 

My one decree is shock and awe 

Black sheep of my kind 

Progeny of hate refined 

Suffering spreads like the plague 

Reasons why, still oh so vague 

The siren song of slaughter summons me 

To inner demons I succumb 

I know not that which I've become 

Exhibit A in man's atrocity 

Take the gun, take the knife 

Take the pain, then take the life 

My taste for homicide 

Is rising up and amplified 

Bloody deeds, my only friend 

With me til the bitter end 

Together we are one 

And our work has just begun 

Suffering spreads like the plague 

Reasons why, still oh so vague 

The siren song of slaughter summons me 

To inner demons I succumb 

I know not that which I've become 

Exhibit A in man's atrocity 

[Chorus] 

Plea for mercy 

To no avail 

Killers of my kind live 

Beyond the pale 

In this world of mine 

They say I don't belong 

Something that feels so right 

Could never be so wrong 

Plea for clemency 

You're wasting time 

My routine 

Is the scene of the crime 

I make the Devil laugh 

And Angels wail 

Forever I will reside 

Beyond the pale 

Heartless bastard cold as ice 

Victim of my own device 

The strong prey on the weak 

Dead men, they never speak 

All part of man's condition 

On this path to our perdition 

We kill along the way 

Death never takes a holiday 

Suffering spreads like the plague 

Reasons why, still oh so vague 

The siren song of slaughter summons me 

To inner demons I succumb 

I know not that which I've become 

Exhibit A in man's atrocity 

[Chorus]
