East of Eden ----------------------
I was told of a place in a distant land Where tortured souls often cried together in anguish, And the scenes that were shown were of a cruel and violent nature, Scenes of pain and cruelty were there to be seen. The arena, the time and the place were set For all to watch and see
I was told of a place in a distant land Where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand And of nations who sat in complacency left cold and emotionless by history. Scenes of pain and cruelty were there to be seen And all the while I should have known It was you killing me.
Somewhere east of Eden the designs will never change. Infected through others fear the world stops at the end of the hall. We watched the life force fade away. The eventual price you will have to pay (Once you are dead how could the children have known).
=====================================================
Our soul awaits in a distant land Where tortured souls have to fight together in anger And the scenes of the show are of a cruel and violent nature Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen The arena, the town, the place was set For all to watch and see
Our soul awaits in a distant land Where the blessed rule with an iron hand And a mission of saddened complacency left cold and emotionless by history Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen All the while I should have known It was you killing me
Somewhere is the leader, the designs will never change Vented through other's fear the world stops at the end of the hall We watch the lifeforce fade away And that's the price we shall have to pay
