Arbor Vitae - Eye For An Eye lyrics

rate me

They give him the arms

Deprive him of bread,

Yet wonder why he

Couldn't have fed himself

They feel no remorse

They feel no shame

When selling their souls

For someone to blame

Relieving their conscience and clearing their minds

Of past injustice and bygone crimes

An eye for an eye, so let him die

Let them believe that he's evil

A tooth for a tooth, conceal the truth

So that things will never change

Walking that road

For many a day

Is more than one can

Expect him to pay for his crime

Bring out the block

Tie the noose

Spice the wine

The vultures will choose

The means of quenching their thirst for blood

Basing their act on a mandate from God

An eye for an eye...

Where have we gone

If lights are put out

With vengeance in mind

And mischief in mouth - the lies, oh the lies

When hate is the cause

And prejudice thrives

They fall into taking

Innocent lives

The same atrocity for which they

Just have made an innocent pay

An eye for an eye...
