Black Eyed Gods

You glide through life And hope to prosper While the look on your face Calls me a monster For I see the light Of a tainted wisdom As the song of the sword Turns men to crimson Black eyed gods Cleanse this word Black eyed gods I've walked through the heart Of the southern hallows Spoken to the souls Hung from the gallows Then fell upon a shrine Of forgotten meaning Then heard someone say I was only dreaming Black eyed gods Cleanse this word Black eyed gods Cleanse them While soaking in the storm Of a vengeful season A pyre still burned On the edge of reason Black eyed gods Cleanse this word Black eyed gods
