I see the innocent victims
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events
Can settle him down
He’s not a man anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
Without seeing at all
You ain’t got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could feel the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching heart in the heartbeat of home
Where their spirits are gone
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn
Maybe you didn’t understand
We don’t need you anymore
If only you could see the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
And in the name of religion
For me gave him our soul
The clock with chime
Every second in my heart
For it’s taken it’s toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil man look at him 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
Got to got to feel this way
Eyes of the world
Oh
Eyes of the world
We don’t need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears and pain
In the eyes of the world
