Nightingale - Eye For An Eye lyrics

[ Swano ]

I have no control, he's making my moves

I am like a puppet on a string

To get a hold of my body he must empty my soul

But right now I wonder what the end will bring

I wonder if I am dreaming, if I do will I wake up

Before we reach the forest

Where my dreams will stop

Thinking about the woman

That has saved me from the cold

I really need her here now, I need a hand to hold

And the more that I think of you

The more you fade away

And here in this hell that I am going through

I can't even close my eyes and pray

The noise drives me crazy

But I remain calm

In this blur I hear a melody

It might be the final psalm

It's time for a change

An eye for an eye

Admitting it's strange

He'll live and I'll die

He's out for revenge

An eye for an eye

It's my turn to suffer now

The final goodbye

An eye for an eye

An I for an I

Desperation takes control

My life is slipping away

We're coming closer to the end

And there is nothing that I can do

I see thru these eyes, I am blind!

I am thinking about my life the way it used to be

Thru the good times and the bad

And all the moments that I've had

It's not a way to end a life

But I guess it was just pretend

I am out walking this winter night

And everything is like before

We enter the forest now and I can see the tree

The rope is still hanging there

Like a monument to forever be

In the noise I hear laughters but I also hear cries

I guess it is my soul I hear

Knowing of his sacrifice?

Please someone release me father

Let this torture stop

I feel a tear is coming as I am climbing higher up

Please my friend forgive me

I wasn't meant to end this way

Trying to control myself, but I am the game you play

And the noose is around my neck

And now my time is here

I wish I could show my regrets and express my fear

Where am I going to can you tell me what we'll be

Will I come to where you are?

I guess I'll just die and see!

The gallow is ready now, an eye for an eye

I wish I could live somehow, but lifeless I'll lie

And he will be born again, I die oh I die

I am jumping now I am losing life an eye for an eye

It's only black and no signs of light

And the shadow has entered my body

And I can hear him say farewell with my voice

"Oh, when the night comes down

And the dark is conducting the nightfall overture"
