- Eyes Of The World LyricsI see the innocent victim's
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events can shackle him down
He's not there anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all
You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world
Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching hearts in the half dreams of home
Where their spirits are down
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn
Maybe you don't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world
And in the name of religion
For the hate in our soul
For the blind and the sick in the heart
War has taken its toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all
Eyes of the world
Don't wanna, don't wanna cry no more
Eyes of the world
In the eyes
Eyes of the world
You ain't got a lot to say
Eyes of the world
Why's it have to be this way
Eyes of the world
Oh, oh, oh
Eyes of the world
We don't need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events can shackle him down
He's not there anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all
You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world
Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching hearts in the half dreams of home
Where their spirits are down
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn
Maybe you don't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears of pain
And in the name of religion
For the hate in our soul
For the blind and the sick in the heart
War has taken its toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all
Eyes of the world
Don't wanna, don't wanna cry no more
Eyes of the world
In the eyes
Eyes of the world
You ain't got a lot to say
Eyes of the world
Why's it have to be this way
Eyes of the world
Oh, oh, oh
Eyes of the world
We don't need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world
