I - The God of a Thousand Eyes Lyrics

We serve our lord 'til we wither and die
We serve the god of a thousand eyes

Surrender all you believe in
You're deity is deceiving
Your senseless defences defeated
Suddenly you see me
Fighting for the life that you gave up so fleetingly
Close to the edge of my patience but I won't give in
Beating, hacking, burning away your resolve
Suffocated by the lies on which you were sold

In time you will see
The reality that you refuse to perceive
In time you will see
The truth behind your hollow reality

And in time you will thank me
In time you will thank me

Break down the walls
That surround your soul
And never sell yourself
Never sell yourself for fool's gold

We are fools
We are fools
We are fools
We are fools

Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the skies burn
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes

Smiling to your face as they call you a traitor while
Washing their hands of your blood spilt for the greater good
Hopelessly hoping they'll view you as a saviour but no
Still blind their hearts stay hauntingly cold
Make me a pariah if it helps you to sleep
I will wander alone amongst the highest of peaks
As the raven glides and wolves bay to the moon
I promise you now that I will see you soon

Tell me what is so unclear
You're wasting away and living in fear
Tell me if there's another way
To save all those that I hold so dear to me

Break down the walls
And begin to recall
The life we lead hand in hand
Together we'll breath and together we'll stand

Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the sky burns
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes

You're fading away
Into the darkest of days
Please stay with me
I can't live any other way

You're fading away
You're fading away, away from me

Fire burns the pain away
Unleash the fire in your heart to reclaim

Reclaim your sanity
A life of clarity
This is all that we need
Let the blood run free

Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the skies burn
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes

We serve our lord 'til we wither and die
We serve the god of a thousand eyes
