Return
John Lyrics

When the god of love returns
When love comes back into the world

There'll be hell to pay
There will be consequences and difficulties

Though the world may be out of excuses
Even though there may be no more justifications

I know just what I would say
I know exactly what I would express

Let the seven trumpets sound
Let there be a sign or warning

As a locust sky grows dark
As a situation becomes ominous or threatening

But first let's take you on a quick tour of your creation's handiwork
But first, let's show you the consequences of your creation

Barely got through the prisons and stores
We just managed to survive the oppressive systems

And the pale horse looks a little sick
And the symbol of death appears weak or unhealthy

Says, 'Jesus, you didn't leave a whole lot for me
Says, 'There's not much left for me to cause destruction

If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?'
If this isn't already a terrible place, then what can be worse?

And we say it's just human, human nature
And we say it's inherent in human behavior

This place is savage and unjust
This world is brutal and lacking fairness

We crawled out of the darkness
We emerged from a place of ignorance or suffering

And endured your impatience
And endured the lack of understanding or tolerance

We're more than willing to adjust
We are eager to adapt or change

And now you've got the gall to judge us
And now you have the audacity to criticize us

The spider spins his web
The spider creates its intricate web

The tiger stalks his prey
The tiger hunts its target silently

And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
And we acquire knowledge or power to protect ourselves from darkness

Every monster has a code
Every villain has a set of principles

One that steadies the shaking hand
One that provides stability in uncertain situations

And he's determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can
And they are determined to accumulate wealth through any possible methods

Oh, it's just human, human nature
Oh, it's simply part of human behavior

We've got these appetites to serve
We have these desires to fulfill

You must not know the first thing about human beings
You clearly have a lack of understanding about human nature

We're the earth's most soulful predator
We are the most emotionally complex predators on this planet

Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored
Perhaps attempt something less grandiose when you're feeling bored

Oh, my Lord
Oh, my God

We just want light in the dark
We simply desire illumination in times of darkness

Some warmth in the cold
Some comfort during cold or difficult times

And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know
And to create or achieve something extraordinary from nothing is reminiscent of another individual
