What Do I See
What do I see for I see I have knowledge, I have common sense, I have purpose
I set my tears long deep down up under earths surface
upon a land where my flesh sits; all I see through my eyes is burning in the childs face who sleeps in the ally and does not see the world turning
I feel his wants to see the midnight sky fall and the moring sky rise and I told him in this time i wish to be blind for there is corruption of what I see
Trust in me this place is a place neither of us shall be
So again what do I see? I see the dead does not rest in peace for yet I've seen a soul playing around my creek
Again what do I see? I see no one has left the living yards nor the grave yards from outside those ringing bells
For what i see well!
Now I should tell again what do I see
For what I see is hell!
