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
