ManUNkind Lyrics

Chaos
Awaiting for Adam's return
Madness
Smiling, as we watch it burn

I've become hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in ManUnKind

Garden
Of Eden, so simple and pure
Greedy
Needy, must we have more?

I've become hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in ManUnKind

Fascinate
Partner of insanity
Decimate
Lessons we never learn

Dominate
Killing of the innocence
Deviate
And to dust you return

Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Seized by the day
All the dark days of your life

Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Led so astray
All the dark days of your life

Zero
Reset, creation of man
Foolish
Ready, to witness again?

I've become hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in ManUnKind
Faith in ManUnKind
Oh, faith in ManUnKind
Faith in ManUnKind
Oh, faith in ManUnKind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about how humanity has become so rotten and putrid we can no longer, “evolve”. (Skip to bottom for quick summary)

What I’m saying is when God put humans on a Earth (Adam & Eve) and so on, we where pure and wise, everybody loved and cared for each other and there was never a problem in the world. But in modern society, every one is hated, guilty, and has turned incapable of ever returning to this wise so called: “Golden” period of mankind. Things that cause this are like wars, blackmailing, crimes, murder, suicide, terrorism, threats, have ruined our way of life.

We, as a species, have sinned our way down an endless hole of hatred that we can never get our selves out of.

It's a tribute to Dead from Mayhem, he was a big Metallica fan.
