The Human Abstract Lyrics & Tabs by Hieronymus Bosch
The Human Abstract
guitar chords lyrics
Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody poor
And mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we
And mutual fear brings peace
Till the selfish loves increase
Then cruelty knits the snare
And spreads his baits with care
He sits down with holy fears
And waters the ground with tears
Then humility takes its root
Underneath his foot
Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of mistery over his head
And the caterpillar and fly
Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of mistery over his head
And the caterpillar and fly
Feed on the mistery
And it bears the fruit deceit
Ruddy and sweet to eat
And the raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade
The Gods of the earth and see
Sought into nature to find this tree
But their search was all in vain
There grows one in the human brain
