The Most Dangerous Of Men Lyrics - Singles - Hine Rupert

What overwhelms an orator so fine 

A leader sharpening his tongue until the end 

The voice for raising hell 

In the minds of uncounted crowds 

Now falters under stress 

The most dangerous of men 

The most dangerous of men on Earth 

The stranglehold of life is tight as drying leather 

Round his neck 

The well scrubbed hand now motions to subordinates 

To share his death 

And brandishing his words like virgin sabres 

High above his head 

The venom of experience 

Dies peacefully in bed 

The dream releases all aggression 

And twists his nightmare to its first confession 

Heavy guarded eyes 

And outside threats that creep inside 

Our friend is on the other side 

The most dangerous of men on Earth 

With no special powers or wealth to elevate himself 

He'll be forever falling last in line 

Behind the faceless millions he betrayed 

He made his mark on history 

And bore it past the grave 

Our friend is on the other side 

The most dangerous of men on Earth
