Scorpion Song (Hector)

[Intro] They say it's in your nature To sting on which you stand But never do they mention How rare you sting the hand For if it never hurt you Why would you sting the sand? [Verse 1] From claws to tail you're built to kill But all you want is sleep Eyes so dry you cannot cry No matter how you weep [Verse 2] A shell of bone your only home And death your only friend Concerned with need on corpse you feed Until the bitter end [Verse 3] You bare your soul not quite alone Broken boned and frail You spite the gods you fight the odds But still they eat your tail [Verse 4] I did not see I did not feel I did not hear you die It took too long to write this song It took too long to cry
