When man plays God
We see where that leads
Down a dark winding path
To a place light recedes
The power of life and death
Is one all too often abused
By those who’d control the world
Leaving us dazed and confused
Let’s take this to a new level
One most would rather ignore
What about the criminals
We’ve sent to Satan’s door
Did we have the right to do such
Although it bettered mankind
Are we no better than them now
Caught in this killer’s state of mind
Now let’s bring in genetics
It’s incredible how far science has come
But to create life in a lab
Is the utmost sin, considered by some
Now consider a mother
With her child still within
Is it our place to pass judgement
Should she choose to abort what could've been
How can we dare to judge
Or think we know better
That our opinions are law
And apply to the world forever
When man plays God
No good can come forth
Only violence and bloodshed
And warfare on Earth
