Shadowbox Puppets - Why? Lyrics

Was God a position to be filled?
Eternity was never up for sale!
Selfish pride was the source of your demise
A fallen star, banished from the light

You bartered for a bag of change
Deceptive kiss unveils your name to fame
Caught between what you can and cannot see
Happy now? You're a part of history

Why do we tend to fail this way?
We compromise then we pay the price
Why do we step before we think?
"It's human kind!" I know, but why?

We do the things we shouldn't do
And yet, we don't do the things that we should
I do the things I shouldn't do
And yet, I don't do the things that I should
