Name: Every Man
Duration: P00H04M13S
Description: This is one of those tracks that never got a final version or appeared on an album. This version is rather simple with mostly electronic elements, but it ends in a type of chaos that was more common in older Bram Cools songs, with more instruments and improvisation.

lyrics

A man in a black suit came to me and said
If I'd pay you enough you would do anything, no matter where your faith lies
every man has his price, that's just reality
I said I don't think so, and I really hope I wouldn't
It would only destroy everything that I am
It would only destroy everything that I am

I know we all are weak
but man still is a free agent
we don't have to be a slave
to the lowest instincts first
we can choose we can swim like a living fish
even if it's out of fashion right now
that doesn't change our abilities
although placebo can still work as very strong magic...

A woman barely dressed came to me and said
If I'd try enough, I could make you do anything, no matter where your faith lies
every man can be seduced, that's just reality
I said I don't think so, and I really hope I wouldn't
It would only destroy everything that I am
It would only destroy everything that I am
