Take From My Eyes

Take from my eyes this cosy sunshine
Where rose tinted glass and falsehood line
Let me see true, the mud and the grime
Have me not believe all is fine

For this world is weeping and the curse reigns
Genuine kindness seems bizarre, strange
In death what becomes of my earthly gains?
And retribution for my pains?

Are the keys to the kingdom locked inside?
Am I doomed to believe the father for lies?
From this fate can my course be pried?
My eyes are red and my tears are cried

Cast out from my path demons which fright
Bring forth from my chest a breath of might
Rescue me from this, my dire plight
Into a place of pure delight
