If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you´ll have no escape
And at the same time there´ll be nowhere to settle

I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone´s loss helping my gain

If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You´d be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there´s no room for the future
With me there´s no room with a view at all

I am out of season all year around
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you´ll have no escape

And at the same time there´ll be nowhere to settle
And if you´re wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror
Cause I am the Greed and Fear
And every ounce of Hate in you
