"I can't see my eyes" by Alexander Schwalbe

Judas came to me
And he told me to betray
The ones I love
In an unholy game we play

Choices, I had none
I had to rip an entire page
Out of the book of life
Or I'd be kicked off stage

I have lied enough
To myself and you all
It was all my own idea and my fault
To make the golden anvil fall

The black sonnet still echoes
Inside this tyrant's mind
The only altruistic deed I can do
Is suicide

Now the angels caught me,
They know ev'ry lie is true
Better hope I don't escape,
'Cause then I'll come for you

I know I deserve this,
I know I am a sinner
Although I walk on clouds,
The ice becomes thinner

I am beyond time,
This pain lasts an eternity
The angels torment me,
I'll never be free

My mind is distorted;
My heart is full of lies
My hair blows in the wind,
And they cut out my eyes

I jumped up to shout in agony
The dark doesn't affect the blind man,
For the blind man cannot see

A single roar of my powerful voice
Blew out the faint candle light
I killed them with the aid of echoing noise
Now my curse is to hunt in the night

I fly the seven skies
To the four far corners of the earth
Dark and light fuse with day and night
The result: my birth

I am the dawn you seek
I chase the dusk you fear
The blood of the blind makes the piper weep
And it draws the vampires near

The pharoah killed the serpent
And he heeds the calls of my cries
The ranger refuses to repent
I CAN'T SEE MY EYES

An eye for an eye made me blind,
And such will it do to most
But if you're nice you lose no eyes,
But don't dare boast

This was said by Ghandi,
It was his conception
But with only one eye
You lose depth perception

How can I cry if I have no eyes?
Where do the tears come from?
Grim reaper please tell me,
Your eyes too are gone
I am blind but I don't see black,
I see the future now
It's a psychedlic world of war
And it knows only one sound

THAT SOUND IS METAL!!!

The brewer brews with poison ivy
In the carnival of slaves
In the unknown spiral of the galaxy
Hidden in the inter-dimensional cosmic caves

I go to the end of the universe
Trying to find synthetic optics
Then I can lift my curse
But which eye will I pick?

I am the dawn you seek
I chase the dusk you fear
The blood of the blind makes the piper weep
And it draws the vampire near

The pharoah killed the serpent
And he heeds the call of my cries
The ferryman refuses to repent
I CAN'T SEE MY EYES

Right and left
Wrong and correct
There was a theft
Myself I suspect

Repent for your sins
Revenge for theirs
The freemasons won't free my sons
And broken hearts, the blacksmith can't repair

Unless it's a heart of gold!

As I have no sight
I travel faster than light
How can I be limited by something I don't perceive?
How can I be stopped if I believe?

But I'm going too fast,
I'm going into space
Heading straight for Jupiter,
I'm gonna lose my face

Mayday! Mayday!...

Am I in heaven, am I in hell
If I had eyes, maybe I could tell
If I'm dead,
Where's my requiem mass
Something clicked in my head
Made of Jupiter's gas!

I am the dawn you seek
I chase the dusk you fear
The blood of the blind makes the piper weep
And it draws vampires near

The pharoah killed the serpent
And he heeds the call of my cries
The ferryman refuses to repent
I CAN'T SEE MY EYES
