Eyes of the Insane Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A soldier's heart
Reflecting back at me
I keep seeing mutilated faces
Even in my dreams
Distorted images
Flashing rapidly
Psychotically abusing me
Devouring my brain

[Chorus 1]
The eyes of the insane
On a demented campaign

[Verse 2]
Tortured spirits
Will not let me rest
These thoughts of mutilated faces
Completely possessed
Fragmented images
Flashing rapidly
Psychotically abusing me
Worming through my head

[Chorus 2]
Shell shock, battle fatigue
Overwhelming anxiety
Flashbacks, panic attacks
Death raising its ugly face at me

[Bridge]
Got to make it stop
Can't take it anymore
The dead keep haunting me
They just keep coming back for more

[Chorus 3]
The eyes of the insane
On a demented campaign
Flashbacks, panic attacks
Death raising his ugly face at me

[Bridge 2]
Got to make it stop
Can't take it anymore
Death's face keeps haunting me
It just keeps coming back for more

[Lead – King and Hanneman]

[Bridge 2]
Got to make it stop
Can't take it anymore
Death's face keeps haunting me
It just keeps coming back for more

[Verse 3]
A soldier
Of misfortune
I owe my pain and suffering
To this hell
These demons
Ripping through my soul
Evil's relentless hostility
Won't let me sleep

[Chorus 3]
Shell shock, battle fatigue
Devastating insanity
Flashbacks, panic attacks
Death's riding, he's coming for me
