Behold, he stands before you all

Upon the tower, fit to fall

See the beauty of the never-ending

Hear his creatures call



Say then, say then:

Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying

Set no truth above my lie, shed no tear upon my dying



An orphan is your child to be

And like you took my child from me

The likes of this, my vengeance

Jave my hell bred creatures yet to see

I've never known such naked pain

As if I'm naked in the rain

I've searched each world for virgin soil

Fit for my slaughtered child's remains



Say then, say then:

For an eye you take an eye, take my voice for all your crying

Upon your infants grave I lie, upon it's death I do my dying

For his eye you take an eye, shattered was he when we found him

Stone and cut and crucify, leave his killer's heart unpounding



Men and angels hide in vain

For he who hath my firstborn slain

Shall die before the sun has set

He took my child, he will regret



Say then, say then:

Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying

Set no truth above my lie, shed no tear upon my dying



Poised the strike in the slumberous sword

Of the dark and childless lord

"This machete of mine will get thee in time

We're alone in a room with no door"



Yes, I recall the death of one

Older and more holy son

I see the irony, but that won't render

This one deed undone



Say then, say then:

For his eye you paid an eye, a law you find is self-fulfilling

In your place your child did die

Death is all you gain from killing
