This Modern Man

i made a deal with the devil

and each day he comes to collect

i made a deal with the devil

another piece of my soul he will select


inside these walls i am to suffer

this now is my living tomb

inside these walls i am to suffer

these words spell out my living doom

 

have mercy on this weary creature

have mercy on this broken man

oh someone please, please end my burden

and send me to the promised land

 

i made a deal with the devil

and my pain is his request

i made a deal with the devil

he now takes all that is my best

 

lead weight fills my aching heart now

as i slip further into darkness

lead weight fills my aching heart

as i wait for death's blackened kiss

 

have mercy on this weary creature

have mercy on this broken man

oh someone please, please end my burden

and send me to the promised land

 

remember me as i once was

a man with love and passion filled

remember me as i once was

who modern times did surely kill

 

have mercy on this weary creature

have mercy on this broken man

oh someone please, please end my burden

and send me to the promised land

 

and put an end to this sick notion

this unholy thing called modern man

and send us to the promised land

and send us to the promised land
