God's Blind Eye
Ten talons, ten claws and coherent eyes/
Ten fingers, ten toes, twenty reasons why/
when an animal fights for its right to life/
And goes off of instinct for every bite/
Why is it spared the afterlife/
In which its sins are brought to light?/
Why is it that 'cause men can lie/
Rape, steal, cheat, fight, then when we die/
We are sent to hell with these reasons why?/
But an animal strives off selfish pride/
And then is blessed with god's blind eye/
He turns his back on them
No alibi/
Too dumb
Too numb
Too uncivilized?/
Why us,
why them,
why not ask why?/
Are they so different from us,
Or Are we just blind?/
And Why can't we get
god's blind eye/
Leave me from heaven
Keep me out of hell/
When I'm gone all I want
Is to sleep so well/
No worries or stress
No painful affairs/
a blacked out presence
void of all cares/
No judgment, no sorrow,
No regrets nor fears/
No more suffering
and no more tears/
Let me cease to exist
Let me see what its like/
I didn't ask for this life,
to lie is to be alive/
So why can't I get
God's blind eye?/
