Even Gods Cry Lyrics

I'm hulking out big time
And my rage I'll freely vent

To Hades with serenity
And anger management
Killing is no sport for me
It's long since lost it's thrill
But when I check my to-do list
It says, pick up eggs and kill

There's a secret to my happiness
Tucked inside that box
But need I look inside myself
To open up let my cheer unlock
Zeus he was my father
But no joy did that bring

Never taught me to grow or ride a bike
We had a cats in the cradle thing
In my mind's eye I laid down my sword
I'm a killer but more than that
I can sing of love and sunshine days
Betcha didn't know that I could Scat
Dobadedaba badobadedaba badobadedada
I had no friends alone am I
A testament that even Gods can cry

You mortals know not the toll it takes
To be the God of War
It's nothing your high school guidance counselor
Would ever steer you toward
Blood is all I've known in life
My violence knows no low
Even as I write this song
I'm drinking wine from a human skull
All this carnage I have wrought
It's no good for my image
Sometimes I'll just slay a goat
Merely for a scrimmage
You don't want to cheese me off
Or think you can oppose me
I'll rip your head off with my hands

How's that for a trophy?

So I ride to face my destiny
To claim that which is mine
And yes I'm riding a Unicorn
It was the only thing I could find
I've lost track of why I kill
It's just something that I do
I should get in touch with my inner child
But I'd probably just kill him too

Zeus, almighty Zeus
I call upon you for an answer
Why must I be forced to kill?
I really wanted to be a dancer
Father I beg of you
Take me for all I'm worth
These sex games are not who I am
They bring merely superficial worth

Being an angel of death is hard
Not a life that most would pick
Sure it gets me lots of tail
But that gets old surprisingly quick

Thinking maybe I'll get a cat
To show my softer side
That could work but failing that
I'll bludgeon my P.R. guide
Sometimes I feel that life's a game
And I'm a character being played
With multiple levels, power-ups
And unlock-able Easter Eggs

If I should come across you
And kill you 'til you're dead
Please don't take it personally
It's just, there's a circle above your head

Oracle please show me the way
To get where I want to go
Spin gold from this bale of hay
And get me my own reality show
For me killing's the only way
And death my only drug
But even a man who's bathed in blood
Sometimes needs love
