Eye For An Eye

Over-power the masses single-handedly One against many, against any calamity Exhaust a man's will To bend at his own So what if it kills (him) --The man has no soul-- Grew stronger by the day Fueled by love and hate A ruler and a slave Together in hell In a shell as hollow as his name Unravel deception As it crept in Hints and clues At first obtuse By looking through A distorted view *[chorus]* Revenge negotiates no truce When he comes to settle the score Burning with a short fuse A napalm death in store Slay the day, chase the night away A midnight star now cast astray Darkness falls before the light of dawn And in that time, your life will be gone Regain a power within As you drain the guilt of sin --You know where you've been-- Can’t forget so won't forgive Don’t know how to live and let live An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth I still live by an ancient rule In a modern day of techno tools Withstanding the strands of time and change Sent forth to exist on any plane *[chorus]* Revenge negotiates no truce When he comes to settle the score Burning with a short fuse A napalm death in store Slay the day, chase the night away A midnight star now cast astray Darkness falls before the light of dawn And in that time, your life will be gone Take from me, you will no more For I am back to settle the score More powerful than I was before Stand with no chance When I hit full-force Show no mercy when balance is restored Tip the scale you will no more All will pay for their one mistake No escape from my grip that day *[chorus]* Revenge negotiates no truce When he comes to settle the score Burning with a short fuse A napalm death in store Slay the day, chase the night away A midnight star now cast astray Darkness falls before the light of dawn And in that time, your life will be gone -Boz

Those who enslave and bend others to their own will have no understanding of God's purpose for us on this earth. There have been many tyrants such as you describe and I doubt we'll be meeting them in the hereafter. They are here after only what they can take and use now to their own advantage. Short-lived will be their spiritual life. I'd love to hear the melody to these lyrics, Boz. Love, Carolyn
