"Elephants Never Forget" lyrics Haken Lyrics "Elephants Never Forget"
Take a little look behind the curtain
If you dare
If you are certain
Gaze upon a perversion
Cross my palm
A penny will buy you a soul
Pain, the only thing it feels
Bury your shame
We are all friends here
Ladies and not so gentlemen
A specimen so disturbing
Behold our beast of burden!
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
I remember a better day
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
Long before humanity
Must've disappointed it's father
Does it have an elephant mother?
Should we take it over to the gallows?
Why's it hiding in the shadows?
He, hidden by a veil of misery
Woven by a thousand threads of ire
Forced to live a life of
Secrecy in abnormality
If I should fail in pleasing you
Could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul?
Could I be treasured in your home?
Take me
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
I remember a better day
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
Long before humanity
I feel something inside of me
The noble beast of dignity
I see the symbol in my hand
Leviathan of Doggerland
Tell me who I am
Pull me from the sand
Help me understand
Take my hand
Maketh me lie down beside the water's edge
Leadeth me through paths of righteousness
Thou art with me, thy rod and staff comfort me
In the presence of my enemies
Heavy I drag my footsteps
Jackals prowl a fog-draped, cold Whitechapel
Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons
Ancient soldiers stand in apparition
Behind the curtain in the corner of the room
Pathetic specimen you cower in the gloom
I, hidden by a veil of dignity
Woven by a thousand threads of ire
I choose to live a life of
Secrecy in my ascendancy
If I should fail in pleasing you
Could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul?
Could I be treasured in your home?
Take me
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
I remember a better day
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
Long before humanity
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
I remember a better day
I remember
I remember another way
I remember
I never will forget you
