It's all a vicious game a tragic joke A pointless twist of fate The sun will rise the sun will set All for it's own resplendent sake
But fools like you get mist eyed As you walk along the strand You claim your eyes can see eternity In a single grain of sand Seeking Heaven in the ruins waisting away Believing life is but a dream That's why the world kills you constantly Constantine
Don't speak to me of love or tenderness Your notions of romance The moon will wax the moon will wane And there are those who would fall into a trance
See the stars in your hallowed sky A million poets strong Not a bleeding word is ever heard And the stars keep shining on Yet there you sigh all mystified staring at a rose As if your eyes have really seen That's why the world kills you constantly Constantine
Sooner or later You'll choose to be smart You'll see the world for what it is And not some sacred work of art Save yourself from certain hell Keep your head above your tender heart (Your tender heart)
Seeking Heaven in the ruins wasting away Believing life is but a dream That's why the world kills you constantly Constantine Constantly Constantine
Constantine It's killing you It's killing me It's killing you Oh God it's killing me Constantine
