My neighbor is a better man than IAnd from your hands do all good things deriveSo if my heart should swellAnd of itself think wellThen humble me till I am fully thineThere's war within my fragile skinA violent revolt for mastery over my soulControl is the strong man's hoaxSkill and wealth are my only hopeA selfish grasping for worthless thronesAnd it tells me "I am greatest"So I gave it not one inchStill it spread throughout my limbsFor my solace in the victoryWas the proof of my defeatWho is worth anything apart from you?Who could own anything?My neighbor is a better man than IAnd from your hands do all good things deriveSo if my heart should swellAnd of itself think wellThen humble me till I am fully thineSongtexteI've been turning wine to waterAnd crippling my healthy brothersI'm walking on the ocean floorAnd stirring up the fiercest stormsNo I did not pour out these tidesOr tell these planets to alignMy breath could never give new lifeSo why am I so full of pride Aus Songtexte Mania
