Eye for an eye, is that what you say?
Always willing to take a life away
Justice enforced when your gavel bangs
Justice enforced when your criminal hangs
Watch as your sun goes down
Never will it arise
Truth was always clear
Presence of death prevails
The Reaper's in the sky, the gallows pole draws near
Eye for an eye, is that what you believe?
Should death be what all offenders receive?
The power to issue a man life or death
The power to take his very last breath
Hang the noose above your head
For soon you will join the dead
End of your life fills you with dread
Because eye for an eye is what they said
What has become of you?
What has become of me?
Will they ever know, of this hypocrisy?
Eye for an eye, well who's to say?
That a man should live or die this day
The power to issue a man life or death
The power to take his very last breath |
