Lyrics

WE ARE HUMAN
WE ARE VIOLENT
WE LEARN OUR LESSONS
THEN DEFY THEM
WE ARE HEARTLESS
AND I’MMORAL
WE CARRY HATRED
LIKE A BIBLE

AND THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
THERE’S A BLACKNESS INSIDE
THAT’S EATING ME ALIVE
LEAVING ME TO DECIDE
DO I LIVE
WITH THIS PAIN
AS THE RAIN STARTS TO FALL FROM MY EYES
ASKING MY SELF WHY

I SEE
TERRIBLE THINGS
I SEE A
SICKNESS IN A WORLD ON ITS KNEES
IT WILL TAKE WHAT YOU LOVE LIKE A THIEF

BUT IN MY DREAMS
I BELIEVE
WERE NOT THESE TERRIBLE THINGS

WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT FAILURE
BUT WE HAVE CHOSEN ILL BEHAVIOR
WITH EVERY SCAR HAVE WE LEARNED
NOT TO HEAL
BUT TO HURT
WE’VE BECOME SOMETHING ELSE
EVEN I CANNOT TELL JUST WHY

I SEE
TERRIBLE THINGS
I SEE
A SICKNESS IN A WORLD ON ITS KNEES
AND IT WILL TAKE WHAT YOU LOVE LIKE A THIEF

BUT IN MY DREAMS I BELIEVE
WE’RE NOT THESE
TERRIBLE THINGS
AH
AH
AH

IF I FALL
IF I RUN
THAT’S WHEN I
WILL BECOME
TERRIBLE THINGS

I SEE
TERRIBLE THINGS
I SEE
A SICKNESS IN A WORLD ON ITS KNEES
IT WILL TAKE WHAT YOU LOVE LIKE A THIEF

BUT IN MY DREAMS I BELIEVE
WE’RE NOT THESE
TERRIBLE THINGS

LOOK AT ME
AND YOU’LL SEE
WE’RE NOT THESE
TERRIBLE THINGS
AH
AH
AH
TERRIBLE THINGS
AH
AH
AH

It's not strong enough to cal mind control, it won't turn an enemy into an ally or stop a riot, and a truly irredeemable monster will just laugh it off... but if Doug can get a target or a group inside is AoE to stop and think for a moment, having this playing will give them an extra nudge toward their better nature. It's a far more subtle effect than most would expect from him, but if anything even more effective for it.
