Take pity, please, Lord Misery   How shiny your throne as you view the stage   oh Majesty, you flatter-   See before you o' this our humble play   Applaud the dance - such innocence   Before you, have mercy A Man Of Hate   We sing for thee, Lady Destiny   How bloody our knees as we kiss your name   Oh can it be, kind Blasphemy   Anoint, pray, your servants, offering   This innocence, such innocence   Before you have mercy A Man Of Hate   We claim its not our fault   We're actors in our guilty mission   For shame is in the thought   Not our pretty submission:   "Reveal my good confession what I hope to gain    I admit to grand obsession breathing in my veins"   Watch lovers there pull out their hair   So slowly to rise toward the sky   One plucks feathers from wings leather   His luck is decreed from the Angel Cain   It's not too late - open the ruby gate   Show mercy before this Man Of Hate   Thus is our tale of woe and wail   We tried to enact so faithfully   But humankind so frail is blind   Our failings do fall as the ax does swing   Oh innocence, bleed innocence   Tormented, behold we're all Men Of Hate   Plead innocence, such innocence...   "Behold, I'm A Man Of Hate"
