Machine Head - Eyes Of The Dead lyrics

rate me

I am no longer alive

Somewhere along this life

I have died inside

My soul has been denied

Rise of the black hearts

We take to the skies

The ravens of omen

We don't go down without a fight

Your grave we dig tonight

With fury and might

We're freaks and we're outcasts

Unwanted and dumb

We scavenge the land

Because we were all given to none

And our blood is one

Black wings spread their ebony quills

Bloody nails, the hand that wills

The murder, murder

Wind is at our backs

Murder, murder

Now the crows attack

Once in this life

You'll see through these eyes

Through the eyes of the dead

Skies become craving with feathers and crests

Laughing like jackals and our teeth are sharpened and wet

Black talons claw your chest

Tear at the flesh while

Virtues of evil now thrown to the flood

The crows of apocalypse

Dragging your heart through the mud

And our teeth drip blood

Black wings spread their ebony quills

Bloody nails, the hand that wills

The murder, murder

Wind is at our backs

Murder, murder

Now the crows attack

Once in this life

You'll see through these eyes

Through the eyes of the dead

When the day of reckoning comes

And you cry out "Babylon's won"

Eyes so dark like ink

We blacken the sun

So call my name, "Raven"

So fear this name, "Raven"

Hold dear this

You will never fucking break me

I've an army that will strip you to the bone

We'll feast on your carrion dreams

Blacken your skies

Shrieking the coldest of screams

Our shadows stand agleam

For we are the dead and we'll rise up and say

Nothing will break us

Nothing will stand in our way

We will seize the day

Little man, the worm has turned

Power and respect we've earned

Black wings spread their ebony quills

Bloody nails, the hand that wills

The murder, murder

Wind is at our backs

Murder, murder

Now the crows attack

Once in this life

You'll see through these eyes

Bloody hand wills the

Murder, murder

Murder, murder

For in this life

You'll see through these eyes

And these are the eyes

That your god denies

Just one last time

You'll see through these eyes

Through the eyes of the dead

Through the eyes of the dead

Through the eyes of the dead

Through the eyes of the dead

The eyes of the dead
