Tombstones For Eyes

Tombstones For Eyes We search for solace amidst the crowd to appease One day we shall all bow humbly to our knees The land is dark without the sun to light When this life is over there is no double feature Shades of black decorated the plate of mast Silence etched it's beckoning call asunder Tombstones for eyes does this come at a big surprise Can't we ever see through the devil's lies We live in a land where cash is king No chance at heart to let the freedom ring In silence we get a glimpse of what it is to come Blackened hearts of evil that plug destruction We used to live in freedom's realm That was so long ago another theatre with a lost film Rather there is glue on the stick that is nothing new A borrowed pew to offer sacrifices to the Lord The faces with tombstones for eyes having long fangs that bite They search for blood in the dead of night Walking zombies seeking self to please They cry for peace yet their hearts are frozen Living in their fake mechanical world of temporary You search for blood out on the street exchange love for lust Two hearts that soar out to the sky a happy passerby They are amng us yet they are not of us Having seared their hearts to what's torn apart
