Lyrics: Long Sought By the Greed of Men...

This following page provides the lyrics to "Long Sought By the Greed of Men...". The song was written and recorded by Osmosis, taken from the band's fifth full-length studio album, Where's Konata When We Need Her?.

Lyrics
Benevolence overthrown by a chaotic smirk

Not even the tiniest of sunlight can be manifested

The sclera is occupied by a floating cerebellum

It contributes to nothing but shameless pitying

When will this horror show end?

Is it okay for me to concede and jump off this platform?

Leap into Gehenna's strected-out mouth

My heart beats,

But I never seem to regain a secondary life

Will you still stagnate even when I travel to the great beyond?

Maybe the universe will function without me

Lives that were lost can descend from that gift-giving dimension

Grab that mangy wolf by the ears,

And then their sacred wishes can unveil

Reveal your chest

I want to explore

I want to scour for the things that mean everything to you

Hand in hand,

We should head forward to a world without thieves and whoresons

The both of us are officially saints in an hour of expiation

Intercept the dawn of the scoundrel

Never bleed me dry

Never bleed me dry

Raise your hand up if you think I am a halcyonian

Flammable villages deserve such treatment not,

I will give you my word and reform it all into glamorous cities

No matter how insane the entire thing sounds

The greed of men dispatches here and now
