Pandora's Box
Pandora's Box.Pandora's box was opened by a fool,
Flooding the Earth with terrible disease
I ask myself was he just a fool.
That thought he could live a life of ease.
Was it ignorance or just plain greed?
Was it opened by the enemy of mankind?
Was the devil Satan in sorest need?
This mad plan was it all that he could find.
Illness has swept the face of the earth,
Millions have died in terrible pain.
It is time that Pandora's box was closed,
Too many have died in vain.
Flooding the Earth with terrible disease
I ask myself was he just a fool.
That thought he could live a life of ease.
Was it ignorance or just plain greed?
Was it opened by the enemy of mankind?
Was the devil Satan in sorest need?
This mad plan was it all that he could find.
Illness has swept the face of the earth,
Millions have died in terrible pain.
It is time that Pandora's box was closed,
Too many have died in vain.
