Eyes of God

about

with Nils Erikson on bass and the Magik*Magik Orchestra

lyrics

Skies a dark machine
Full of poison steam
When it rains we see
The flowers wither from the breath
Of generations left
A pile of garbage seen from infinity

Overlords will be
Run amok with greed
Pulling puppet strings
Placing voodoo pins into our throats
A pair of sevens thrown
Out of luck and time
So see the eyes of God

Holy faith will rot
The supermarkets stock
Once the leaves are gone
So well all must go our separate ways
The pope and those who pray
Separated by the knowing eyes of god

Hark! Upon the naked rise
A fire burning bright
Revolt has started

Oh in the water, in the rocks and in the spring
Flows a truth everlasting, never want for anything
Seized by the gods in a lust filled delight
While the stars ever turn up above mark our flight
See the divine in the night sky
Not some over-crowded book

Seized by the gods in a lust filled delight
While the stars ever turn up above mark our flight
See the divine in the night sky
See the divine in each others eyes
