Black Eyed Gods

Cleanse them

You glide through life and hope to prosper
And 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 ones
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
And heard someone say I was only dreaming

Black ones
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

Reason

That’s why
Black eyed gods
Cleanse this word
Black eyed gods
