lyrics

“Man”

A man’s home is his palace.
A man’s palace is his mind.
A man’s mind is his weakness,
A man’s weakness is his sexual desire.

Delusional is he who thinks he can possess his lover,
But I’ve not been one to cling to the precipice of my sanity.
If I could I would cage you in my palace.
If I could I would break these chains that enslave my mind.

CHORUS

A man walks tall, carries a big stick,
And doesn’t take no shit from a little man.
A man smiles not, a man cries not,
A man takes who he pleases as his lover.
A man does not desire other men,
Except as allies in war and conquest,
A man dies alone.
