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
