Lyrics
These Are The Works Of Man<br />
<br />
This is the soul of my ambition<br />
this is the source of my tradition<br />
these are the terms for my condition<br />
This is the sound of my rendition<br />
this is the stage of my transition<br />
this is the voice of admonition<br />
<br />
These are the words for all the taken<br />
all of their dreams so long forsaken<br />
these are the cold, these are the naked<br />
These are the things that are on my mind<br />
these are the teachings of mankind<br />
this is the wisdom of the blind<br />
<br />
What in my heart can open to please try and understand<br />
These are the works of man<br />
These are the works of man<br />
<br />
This is the face of incarnation<br />
this is the glory of a nation<br />
story of our generation<br />
This is the time for revelation<br />
this is the sorest of temptations<br />
this is the source of our frustration<br />
<br />
What in my heart can open to please try and understand<br />
These are the works of man<br />
These are the works of man<br />
<br />
These are the terms of my surrender<br />
this is the face of my contender<br />
these are the arms of my offender<br />
These are the words of my confession<br />
this is the state of my transgression<br />
This is the final lasting question<br />
<br />
What in my heart can open to please try and understand<br />
These are the works of man<br />
These are the works of man<br />
<br />
