<b>Eyes</b> by <i>The 1861 Project</i><br />The 1861 Project - Eyes

In the eyes of the men i have to kill

They’ll be coming through those trees a thousand strong

and i know it’s them or me when the day is done

and when the smoke clears and drifts up to the sky

and i’ll wipe the blood and tears from my

eyes

eyes that look like home

eyes just like my own

eyes that have gone blind

eyes that look like mine

two years ago from ireland i came

landed in new bedford in the rain got drafted from a tavern in new york

into the fighting irish marching off to war

if i’d had 300$ i wouldn’t have to see

all these fallen southern soldiers

staring back at me

(chorus)

and when i put my head down

and try to get some sleep

all that i can think about

all that i can see

(chorus)
