Taught to believe from the onset, of heaven

and hell and between

The institution's retribution - damnation from on high

Living and dying together never did nothing at all

Except for the few who got rich off of you

And the rest, they were herded like sheep



(Chorus)

Mine are the eyes of god

And what I see is not what was meant to be

Mine are the eyes of god

Mine are the eyes

Mine are the eyes of god



Down the road to betrayal of values they

held to be true

An abberation, deviation to get to hte spirit of life

The whole goddamn world is riding on words

for thousands of years

It's just like the west, to think it knows best

When answers are subject to change



(Chorus)



They took what could have been

And turned it upside down

They twisted all things seen

What's lost must now be found

I got to see it

Got to believe it

I got to be there



I got to see it

Got to believe it



Given the power of reason yet throwing it all

to the wind

No solution in evolution - only the blood-stained glass

A soul full of lies in contention, begs sacred

yet worships profane

Lose sight of the fact that you're where it's at

Not the stars, not the cross, nor the moon



(Chorus
