MIND'S EYE LYRICS

1. Praying For Confession

Life, life is such a ridiculous word if you think of it.
Eventually, we all take life for granted.
It's not until we take that last gasp of air before we truly can appreciate the simplicity of seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting life.
Death, ha...death comes to us all

Of father please forgive my sins, I've take lives with my bear hands
This guilt has grown inside of me, I cannot cry, nor can I hide

I broke the glass, reflection died
The mirror lies, deformed and blind
I cannot face my image more
I've cut my hand, bled for my land
A child with no name is easier to mould
A mouth of no words, far better controlled
No one to claim his rights, to say goodnight
Letting my hate grow up before I could
I became the hands of god

[Adam Evangelista:] Father forgive me father, for I have sinned.
[Father Cavallero Dimori:] When was your last confession my child?
[Adam Evangelista:] This is my very first...

2. Seven Days

I'm here to clear my conscience for a while
Let you know what kind of monster I am
Taking life, that is the only gift
Of which I have been blessed with
Always disguised, even your eyes they lie

I have carried on for centuries
Taking orders from the men of the light
Making sure I'm always paid enough
I'm greedy you know
11 bags of cash
Blood money barely touched

I shed a tear
I didn't know I had them
Last time I cried it was for fear
Those memories I thought I've long forgotten
Haunt me at night, like the howling winds outside
Killing is how I stay alive

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

A mission to detain democracy
In a land where a red rose makes the rules
I hope this other half enjoyed the flick
At the cinema show
No guard in sight, the stairs, a freedom path

I shed a tear
I didn't know I had them
Last time I cried it was for fear
Those memories I thought I've long forgotten
Haunt me at night, like the howling winds outside
Killing is how I stay alive

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

One shot's enough for a red rose to wither

[Spoken:]
How straight is your spine after I'm done

Let the angels cry and carry you home
Sleep like a stone, your time here is done

In time I will dance on your grave
In time I will dance

Condemn me
I'm guilty
Candles blow out when you're near

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

I know you
Despise you
But I need your help

3. Assassination

Hope is at large
Sweet Novocain
Condemnation
Frozen in time, covering my years, you are the savior

Take these pills, you say
Chase the world away
I rush to drink some water
Holy water boils
Say can you heal this sad headache
The morphine of my life

The bells of desecration
Always ringing in my ears
As the shadows of deception
Might arrest the best of me
Oh priest, please help me

Assassination
It's in my nature
Show me the gold
A hand full for a restless tomb
Assassination
Sowing this nation
Cynical world
No matter how rich you are
Always a price on your head
The joke's on you

Three shots in the head
Enough to clear his mind
A rather fading color
Weakening your bones
Crossing the lake
Baring the flame
Intentions have gone mad

The bells desecration
Always ringing in my ears
As the shadows of deception
Might arrest the best of me
Oh priest, please help me

Assassination
It's in my nature
Show me the gold
A hand full for a restless tomb
Assassination
Sowing this nation
Cynical world
No matter how rich you are
Always a price on your head
The joke's on you

All we are is dust
Pointless lives, crying when there's loss, broken there
I shall liberate you from your walls
Help you cross that border
Climb and fall, climb and fall

Crossing the lake
Baring the flame
Dimensions have gone mad
Like the intentions of a child

Assassination
It's in my nature
Show me the gold
A hand full for a restless tomb
Assassination
Sowing this nation
A cynical world
There is no room for the facts
Proof is a slap on your face
The joke's on you
The joke's on you

4. Chaos Unleashed

Scenery was drawn
Easy to obtain
Help from media
Camera everywhere

Time to make my move
Safe behind my lens
Fast decisions
Breathing down my neck
I'll be...

Like a shadow on your back
Like the beggar flips a coin
Like clockwork I will hit

How can you sit there?
While there's so much chaos, been unleashed
A penny for your thoughts
The TV is rather calm
Watching all this chaos caving in
It's all caving in...

Lights are blinding me
Sun is burning me
In broad daylight
Suspensions killing me
Then I get a go
The bullet leaves my gun
Rest in peace now
A martyr you shall be
I'll be...

Like a monkey on your back
Like the beggar flips a coin
For like clockwork I will hit

How can you sit there?
While there's so much chaos, been unleashed
A penny for your thoughts
The TV is rather calm
Watching all this chaos caving in
It's all caving in...

Right on your face
Like a fly landing on the tip of your nose
Your TV dinner tastes
Like the blood on my hands
Crime on prime time is on today's menu

How can you sit there?
While there's so much chaos, been unleashed
A penny for your thoughts
The TV is rather calm
Watching all this chaos caving in
It's all caving in...

So how can they sit there?

5. Hell's Invitation

My son, why won't you see the light in heaven?
I rather rule in hell than to serve in heaven, father...

Your job's to rescue me today
So don't fill my head with empty thoughts
From where I am there's no return
The power of your mighty words
Claiming my crown is made of thorns
Made to keep the evil out

I'm here to find out
If there's more to life than death
Ironic how god slaps your face
And he will always be

Like a cockroach in your mouth
Laying eggs inside your brain

I will not make it, through the pearly gates
Carrying chains of doom
Hell's invitation is burning out
The devil sends regards
Let me taste the apples again

Wouldn't want to ruin your plan
Like I did the last time
So please release me
From these chains of doom

I felt the weight of that day
Thought I was not the only one
To cast the first stone in the crowd
A punishment for changing lanes
Nobody likes the way you talk
The way your X is held up tall
So rest in my arms
While you finish your last breath
Ironic how god slaps your face
And he will always be
Like a cockroach in your mouth
Laying eggs inside your brain

I will not make it, through the pearly gates
Carrying chains of doom
Hell's invitation is burning out
The devil sends regards
Let me taste the apples again

Wouldn't want to ruin your plan
Like I did the last time ha ha ha
So please release me
From these chains of...

Hell belongs to me
You can walk the clouds
Promises to keep
before I claim my crown
Heaven is a trick
You can hardly wait
For the punch line is
Endless Emptiness

I will not make it, through the pearly gates
Carrying chains of doom
Hell's invitation is burning out
The devil sends regards
Let me taste the apples again

Wouldn't want to ruin your plan
Like I did the last time ha ha ha
So please release me
From these chains of doom

Paradise will never open up
For a man with chains of doom
The gates of hell open for anyone
Surely I can never be included
Only spotless lives approved
Wouldn't want to ruin your garden there
I'm here to find out...

6. Feed My Revolver

A disgraceful kind of trap
For a democratic rat
To drive into my sight
I am sweating in the crowd
In this desert dollar town
A shot for mercy calls

The world is mine
Soon as the bullet goes
Through your brain
Come thunderstorm and rain
Flush your blood down the drain
One last with before the flood

Then I knew that I've become
My own nightmare with a gun
Feed my revolver
Every corner that I turn
Every eye ball I confront
Feeds my revolver
Feed my revolver
Guess it's time to reload

Someone else will take the fall
For the sins that I have caused
The media will fail
And the other they won't know
As they shot into the dark
For answers, come to me

The world is mine
Soon as the CIA cuts your face
Come former presidents
Wash Jackie's tears away
One last toast before the fraud

Then I knew that I've become
My own nightmare with a gun
Feed my revolver
Every corner that I turn
Every eye ball I confront
Feeds my revolver
Feed my revolver
Guess it's time to reload

The facts don't lie
I'm practically just shoving them deep down your throat
I am free from the guilt
Forgive me
May I have this last dance?

The world is stunned
It's like I killed a butterfly
My job here is done
I wash my hands
In grassy knoll

That's when I knew that I've become
My own nightmare with a gun
Feed my revolver
Everyday I'm getting worse
Killing time in my own terms
Feed my revolver
Feed my revolver
I guess it's time to reload
Feed my revolver

7. Ashes To Ashes (In Land Lullaby)

Who is this crying woman?
She claims she's blood with me
The only proof she carries plays a melody
A gift from me
As I dismiss her reasons
She hands me one last thing
A picture of her mother
Suddenly I see

Open my wound, pour salt on it
The grave digger's big shame
Ask em what purpose I fill
Bless your heart for it's so pure
I sleep with the lights on
Hug a pillow up front
The lullaby song the sandman hums
Might come true
Twist the dagger out of my old wound
Ashes to ashes in land lullaby

That night I had to head out
The men of light insist
The cleansing of a member
Whose powers had grown weak
Must separate the two roles
Of father and a beast
I just can't close the door now, it's reality

Open my wound, pour salt on it
The grave digger's big shame
Ask em what purpose I fill
Bless your heart for it's so pure
I sleep with the lights on
Hug a pillow up front
The lullaby song from your music box
Makes me fight for you
Even if it's the last thing I ever do
Ashes to ashes in land lullaby

She's a fraud
Cast away the music once played to you
The voice of reason
Commands you now
The beautiful illusion
Of a ticking bomb
Waiting for the finger of destiny
Maybe you are right and I am wrong

Open my wound, pour salt on it
The grave digger's big shame
Ask me what purpose I fill
Bless your heart for it's so pure
I sleep with the lights on
Hug a pillow up front
The lullaby song the sandman hums
Might come true
Twist the dagger out of my old wound
Ashes to ashes in land lullaby
In land lullaby
Keep living in land lullaby

8. The Hour Of Need

[Spoken:]
- It's open!
- Hi, I'm Norma Jean...
- Enchanting, just take off your clothes will you...

Obscene is the man watching a woman undress herself
Pleasure is given but not responded
Loneliness says yes but November says no
A window to her soul they say
December, her soul's gone astray

Climb, climb while you still can
The ladder is slippery but fair
When you least expect it...

The lust that I see in your eyes watching me tonight
I hope that it's real
I'm down and lonely
Happiness killed what little was left of me
A thousand for love, you say
I guess it's OK

Fly, fly while you still can
For life will punish all the fools
When you least expect it, in the eleventh hour
The hour of need...

9. Red Winter Sirens

Moscow is quiet tonight
It's cold out here
I'm dazzled by the lights
And this snow
The trees all painted white
It's plain to see
My coat is not enough
Against this snow
It's this snow
I believe

Is it true what they say
That all beauty must fade
Something woke in me
When that light bulb screamed
I stopped to catch my balance
No, cold sustains me
Soon I blame this snow
I'm sure it's this snow
Yes I believe

The mission is today
The men of light are watching me

Last time I had heard from him
Was during the cold war
Our differences had grown much further
Since bombing London
Back then
Where we shared a cold drink
Not knowing it was your blood
Running down my veins now
Poisoning me

The policy of a rotten state
Chokes anyone who makes a fist
Death is confusing man like
Red winter sirens
The legacy of a new born faith
Dies from the taste of mother's milk
The come retaliation
Feeding you silence
Eat all you can
It's only sand

Nothing could prepare me less
For the terror I was up against
We were broken, out of bullets
Loading our half loyalty
Back now
Shaking hands for the last time
I can only imagine how to tear your heart out
How can this be

The policy of a rotten state
Chokes anyone who makes a fist
Death is confusing man like
Red winter sirens
The legacy of a new born faith
Dies from the taste of mother's milk
The come retaliation
Feeding you silence
Eat all you can
It's only sand

It's only sand but it's tainted with your blood
And yet still they try to make you eat your name
It's only sand

Look how far we've come with these loaded guns
Blame human race
Blame this damn rat race

The policy of a rotten state
Chokes anyone who makes a fist
Death is confusing man like
Red winter sirens
The legacy of a new born faith
Dies from the taste of mother's milk
The come retaliation
Feeding you silence
Eat all you can
It's only sand

The fountain of trust
Has dwelled into dust
The old tree has been offended
A fellowship has ended

10. Skin Crawl

I am the war you cannot end
I am the scent you cannot stand
The cancer of a cigarette
I hide my tears from your demands
I hate your guts still here I am
A rotten corpse on your behalf
Treated like a teddy by a lonely child

Just like a snake I change my skin
Open your eyes and realize
Living in shadows I can see
Who has grown horns and wings

Constant craving
For the innocent blood of yours
Save your praying
For it's making my pale skin crawl
Skin crawl

So let them think it's suicide
You know the mob is water proof
Nothing can move that mountain there
They think they know how brought this mess
The hammer falls but once again
Justice prevails blind as a bat
One hundred red steps away from his door

Just like a snake I change my skin
Seeking the truth, door slams on you
Living in shadows I can see
The raven is passing me

Constant craving
For the innocent blood of yours
Save your praying
For it's making my pale skin crawl
[x2]
Skin crawl

11. Graveyard Hands

Oh how I long for ancient times
Where a man could take charge
Of his own mind
For in prison they hold
Our brothers in chains
And no lesson is learned
For freedom is frail

Hold your flag high
In proudness
Don't let them take what's yours
I'm here to bring back the balance
Before it's too late for us

Now we stand
In the shadows
Of a land
That you used to own
Use your hands
For all that matters
Your graveyard hands

They have to learn
We are not slaves
Let the ground we adore
Grow without shame
For we sow the first tree
It belong to us
And when you drew first blood
You crossed that line

I say hold your flag high
In proudness
Don't let them take what's yours
I'm here to bring back the balance
Before it's too late for us

Now we stand
In the shadows
Of a land
That you used to own
Use your hands
For all that matters
Your graveyard hands

Carry the crops
Of those who fought side by side with you
Sing the fanfare
So their names won't be lost, no

Now we stand
In the shadows
Of a land
That you used to own
Use your hands
For all that matters
Your graveyard hands

12. Say Goodnight

Higher
Embrace the filthy sky
The point of no return
Is here upon us
Dust to dust
The fear taught you to fly
Gravity is for them
Those non believers

So the thread that you proudly hang on
Eventually it will snap
The perfection is ruining your temple
Tickles a smile on my lips

For when I say goodnight it always means forever
You'll see your life flash by for a second
And when your eyes roll back
I'll cry the tears of joy
Count your blessings now, it's better
Time to say
Goodnight

Rest assure
Your legacy will die
The serpent is the fool
He's out of venom
Feed the crows
Their feathers are like mine
Waiting for a dove
We long for supper

So the thread that you proudly hang on
Eventually it will snap
The perfection is ruining your temple
Tickles a smile on my lips

For when I say goodnight it always means forever
You'll see your life flash by for a second
And when your eyes roll back
I'll cry the tears of joy
Count your blessings now, it's better
Time to say
Goodnight

Here's a chair
Here's a rope
You know what to do
Make sure the knot is tight enough for me, for you

If you find heaven
You got nothing to fear
Not at all

[Spoken:]
Garden of Eden
Is a cemetery
Not far from hell

For when I say goodnight it always means forever
You'll see your life flash by for a second
And when your eyes roll back
I'll cry the tears of joy
Count your blessings now, it's better
Time to say
Goodnight

13. Pandora's Musical Box

Have to make the choice of whom
Who should live and who should rule
The end of the rainbow is here

So the persecution begins
Which the laws of ancient rituals, of course forbid
They told me to turn the other cheek, express humanity
An eye for an eye seems reasonable to me

Purify my rights
Vendetta in my mind
The way that you always treated me
Crushing a bright future
A dream
The scars that you left
Physically and mentally
Inside of me
The beast in me attempts to come alive

Who dares to open Pandora's Box?
The end of light and start of dark
Who cares to listen to the tones made for the gods?
Your cross won't help you now it won't
Oh these ashes will redeem
White and clean like sanity, if you will
[x2]

Who are you to point fingers
A garden always got one rotten rose, look at me
We, we are but wicked men
Trying to raise the bar of hope
Nailing shut the last coffin

Purify my rights
Vendetta in mind
The way that you used the bible priest
Smashing my face with discipline
The scars that you left
Locking hate and misery
Inside of me
The beast in me attempts to come alive
Come alive

Half the world know the reasons
Why I hate you so much lord
My life is like a book
You read and you want more
What more is there to do
What more is there to add

I am going nowhere
Facing my demons
Better to abort the plan
No rescuing
My destiny is shut
Who had the guts to open Pandora's Box?
Goodbye to light enter the dark
Once you burned bright now you feel cold

I want to be like one of you
Perfect wife and a dog, how I envy you all
One last kiss
The truth shall set you free
Lucky me that you wore black

A tired, weak old man
Three shots away from home
