History Lesson Lyrics

Hundred thousand years ago
Four legends were ever told
Homo sapiens stood erect
Mind empty and mind fresh

Then a love and hate
In a god and an anti-god

Humans slaughtered humans
Slaughtered humans slaughtered humans

First with stone, then with metal
Now with heat
It was all for power

-- Hundred thousand years ago *Before legends were ever told Homo sapiens stood erect Mind empty and mind fresh

Created love and hate Created god and an anti-god

Human slaughtered human slaughtered human slaughtered human

That is all.
