Grant Me Thine Eyes 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
