[Intro]
To see the fault
Of unrequited love
There is no truth, there is no purity
There is no love

[Pre-Chorus]
Flesh is the weakness, flesh is the fault
We are embodiment of all the world's wrongs
No time to look back; we are gone
No time to regret the seeds we've thrown away

[Verse]
Man is the parasite, man is the cause
We are destroyers and creators, our precious flaw
We are the architects of fate
We are impure for we burn all we berate

[Chorus]
We are but flesh, and flesh is the weakness
We are born of blood, sinew, and bone
We're all just spinning in this useless hole in time
On our way into the black unknown

[Refrain]
Man is the parasite
Man is the cause
We are destroyers and creators
Our precious flaw
[Solo: Jeff Loomis]

[Pre-Chorus]
Flesh is the weakness, flesh is the fault
We are embodiment of all the world's wrongs
No time to look back; we are gone
No time to regret the seeds we've thrown away

[Chorus]
We are but flesh, and flesh is the weakness
We are born of blood, sinew, and bone
We're all just spinning in this useless hole in time
On our way into the black unknown

[Outro]
I am but flesh, and flesh is weak
I am but flesh, and flesh is weak
