Cancer Of The Heart Lyrics - Skyclad

There's a simple diagnosis for this vicious symbiosis 

feel the growth of rogue psychosis 

we are the cause - we are the cure 

Across each continent and nation 

spread without discrimination, 

we refuse our medication - yet inject the virus pure. 

Father, mother, sister, brother. Everyone infects each other. 

Insidious, incestuous love? 

(A feeling more akin to hate) 

Vying constantly for power 

and changing sides with every hour, 

in homes built with machine-gun-towers, 

(the sights trained on the garden-gate). 

Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start 

for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was Cancer of the heart

[CHORUS] 

To show compassion makes you weak 

so don't dare turn the other cheek, 

Try hard to hide the fear you feel 

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel 

A naked-ape in the human zoo 

you amaze me with the things you do 

I watch your pride before the fall 

and realise I don t belong at all. 

WE try to leave the past behind us 

racing onwards - blind and mindless 

now the milk of human kindness won't serve for one cup of tea 

We sate the hunger - quench the thirst 

then lock our doors - expect the worst 

be sure and always do to others first what they could do to thee! 

It's the biggest contradiction - in terms language could impact 

something neither humane or natural - just "Cancer of the heart"

[CHORUS] 

To show compassion makes you weak, 

so don't dare turn the other cheek. 

Try hard to hide the fear you feel - 

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel. 

A naked-ape in the human-zoo. 

you amaze mo with the things you do. 

I watch your pride before the fall, 

and realise I don't belong at all. 

It's replicating culture sprawls when you see red as 'Rose-Bengal' 

The anti-body's common sense - intolerance it's best defence. 

Microscopic minds can't diagnose the cause before 

the symptom shrows. 

A grave threat to the rational health - 

(be your own physician - heal thyself!). 

Seems the biggest contradiction-in-terms language could impart, 

something neither humane or natural -just'Cancer Of The Heart' 

[CHORUS:] 

To show compassion makes you weak, 

so don't dare turn the other Cheek. 

Try hard to hide the fear you feel - 

with a heart of stone and nerves of steel. 

A naked-ape in the human-zoo. 

you amaze me with the things you do. 

I watch your pride before the fall, 

and realise l don't belong at all.
