ILL OMEN - Vacant Eyes

The deeds of a man, cursed by unknown hands, travelled throughout the land, his thoughts and visions sans
But as he travelled by couldn't help but recognize, the look in his eyes, haunted by ancient cries
He couldn't see clearly, clouded by vacancy, of human decency, no way to be happy

Vacant
Eyes
See
Lies

He smiled though his eyes were cold and dark
He laughed but only at his own remarks
He fought but only to feel something real
He didn't know what it was like to feel

He killed for fun you see, couldn't feel the need, lack of empathy, get down on your knees
I looked up to him, but his thoughts were thin, but we were kin, and I wanted to be him
He couldn't see clearly, clouded by vacancy, of human decency, no way to be happy

Vacant
Eyes
Want
To die

He smiled though his eyes were cold and dark
He laughed but only at his own remarks
He fought but only to feel something real
He didn't know what it was like to feel

Vacant
Eyes
See
Mine

He smiled though his eyes were cold and dark
He laughed but only at his own remarks
He cried but only as he died
He sighed a final resting goodbye

The eyes passed onto me, I could no longer see, the point of being free, descend into criminality
I wanted to be just like him, and I got a life of sin, he was my kin, Destiny's violent spin
I cared for thing, now I am king, of eyes of nothing, pain they will bring
Vacant eyes are mine, Vacant eyes blind to emotion
