Eye for an Eye Lyrics

The green mile lies ahead
The bridge from life into death
Towards the execution
That shall bring absolution

Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign

Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign

Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let salvation come

Seeds of hate cultivated
From an unfair world that created
A being corrupted and grim
Replies the agony which made him

"We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
Greed has poisoned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
To those who can hear me, I say do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators and the tyranny will fall"

The last mile lies ahead
The bridge from life into death
Towards the execution
That shall bring absolution

Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign

Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign

Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let salvation come

Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let healing come

"In the 17th Chapter of St. Luke it is written
'The Kingdom of God is within man'
Not one man nor a group of men
But in all men!
In you!"

Hate never ends hate
