East of Eden |
| I was told this in a distant land where tortured |
| souls have to fight together in anguish |
| And the scenes of the show are of a cruel and violent nature |
| Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen |
| The arena, the town, the place was set for all to watch and see |
| I was told this in a distant land where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand |
| And a mission of saddened complacency left cold and emotionless by history |
| Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen |
| All the while I should have known it was you killing me Somewhere is the leader, the designs will never change |
| Vented through other’s fear the world stops at the end of the hall |
| We watch the lifeforce fade away |
