מילים לשיר The Cradle Will Fall – Skyclad

A species in its infancy
This 'naked ape' believes itself divine. Assured of its supremacy
The first words that it speaks
But the time has come for us to realise, That the animal instincts we deeply despise
Are far more civilised than humanity. Mankind has lived to curse the day it climbed down from the trees, But still we keep our heads held high whilst crawling on our knees. I hope I never live to see the 'perfect' world you crave, Where ambition is the burden we shall carry to our graves. We think that we are so superior
All other life we deem inferior
No amount of remonstration could ever show a mind so small that it is not 'the be and end all.' Into the future we race driven on by our greed, Like rats in a maze we will never be free. Science is the 'new

Down evolution's one way street mankind pursues his dream, Of a race conceived in test tubes with the same designer genes, But like a child who tries to run before it learns to crawl
he'll go crying to his 'Mother' when he sees the cradle fall. I am human
With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream. Homo
Taking all the world will give me

laughs and no

With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream. Homo
Taking all the world will give me
Mankind a babe
Believes he's come of age
And reaches for the stars, With one foot in the grave. I am human
I am human
I am human
I am human--I am servant to the monsters I have made.
