Grant Me Thine Eyes

from Lonely Rabbit by Durrdiss

/

lyrics

Blinding noise, speak to me
Abyssal angel of misery
Grant me thine eyes so that I may see
The monster within that I'm meant to be

Trapped inside this cage of flesh
My monster wants its birth
To feast upon the living
And to consume the Earth
Bless me with thine eyes, oh lord
I want the hunter's sight
To choose a sacrifice to bring
A curse this dreaded night

Brace yourself for the face of death
Smiling with my teeth
Tainted by my blood and milk
They come from beneath
Arise my childlike beasts of fire
Born of seed and coal
Your mother needs the taste of man
So take their lives and bring me back their souls

Blessed be the lamb of sacrifice before the coming storm
Let clouds erupt with bloody rain to call the silent dawn
Please grant me with thine eyes and open up the skies

When was the last time I heard the children sing?
Must have been when I had the heart to sing too
Do you remember when tulips used to bloom?
Long before I saw the coloured space anew

I've suffered for sight and struggled with space
To see the cosmos shine from the smile of every face
These eyes, they are cursed to see beyond the mind
But to see mistakes I've made, these eyes, they are cold and blind

Forced to face the guilt within
My monster wants to run
To flee from all the evil
That I've ever done
Forgive me for these eyes, oh lord
Abyssal poisoned mind
Release me from my need for blood
And take them, make me blind

Brace yourself for the face of death
Smiling back at me
Tainted by my blood and milk
It's come to set me free
Arise the ghosts that haunt my thoughts
Born of my cruel hand
Your mother needs to be at peace
So please forgive me children of the damned

Blessed be the lamb of sacrifice before the coming storm
Let clouds erupt with bloody rain to call the silent dawn
Please grant me with thine eyes and open up the skies

When was the last time I heard the children sing?
Must have been when I had the heart to sing too
Do you remember when tulips used to bloom?
Long before I saw the coloured space anew
When was the last time I heard the children sing?
