I am but a man
A single foe to me
Is the reason I harbour
With all certainty

I am but a man
Who is never too true
For in lies I believe
And envy the comfort they give to you

I am but a man
Who prays to god and devil alike
Who shames in all carnal desires
And prays with all his might

I am but a man
For a step or two
I believe I can write history
But I can't see it through

I am but a man
Who will never see the light
For peace is unforgiving
Come day or night

I am but a man
Who loves for reasons cruel
For the heart of a stranger
Is gold to this fool.

I see but now
The error of my ways
The dance of insanity
And time of the day

I say to you
Love me for what I am
Always just a man
Who lives and breathes.
