Killer's Eyes |
I see so little hope in you |
So much despair |
As I look in your eyes I wonder |
What thoughts linger there |
Life means nothing to you |
At least that’s what they say |
But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away |
How were we to know what was going on inside your mind |
You never let it show what was going on behind |
Those killer’s eyes |
Killer’s eyes |
You’ve seen your picture in the paper |
Your little sister’s pinned it on the wall |
She thinks you’re in some kind of movie |
Imagine her surprise when she saw you on the news |
Reporters came around and asked for interviews |
So little compassion, so icy cool |
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel |
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum |
But you haven’t got the right to blow it to kingdom come |
How could we know what it was like inside a killer’s mind |
It never really showed, you kept the secret deep inside |
Those killer’s eyes |
Killer’s eyes |
You say the world is full of bullshit |
So you kill just as you see fit |
They say that you’re a fanatic with a mission |
We all go through hell in some kind of way |
Can you tell me what it’s like to be there every day? |
When you were young you had a vision |
Why’d you go and do a thing like that? |
And now we see you on the television |
Imagine our surprise when we saw you on the news |
And reporters came around and asked for interviews |
I see so little hope in you |
So much despair |
As I look in your eyes I wonder |
What thoughts linger there |
Life means nothing to you |
At least that’s what they say |
But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away |
When you were just a child |
You’d hide away when other children cried |
But how were we to know |
These tears that flowed were from a killer’s eyes |
I see so little hope in you |
So much despair |
As I look in your eyes I wonder |
What thoughts linger there |
Life means nothing to you |
At least that’s what they say |
But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away |
Those killer’s eyes |
See the whites of their eyes |
Those killer’s eyes |
See the whites of their eyes |
