NoiseArt Collective - Eye for an Eye

Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye
That's the law of Old Testament times
Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye
Someone hurts you, you get them back
Equal shares, never more, never less
Pharaoh had a chance to let them go
Plagues as reminders, but he's still said no
Tried to kill all the boys, the Israelites
Baby in a basket grew up to lead the fight
He didn't understand, they were mine
Old Testament laws, you kill mine
And I kill yours, eye for an eye

It's been that way since the dawn of time
You kill mine, I kill yours
He had a chance to let them go
He didn't understand, they were mine

Old Testament laws, since the dawn of time
You kill mine, and I kill yours
Old Testament laws, since the dawn of time
You kill mine, and I kill yours

Eye for an eye
New Testament times
King trying to protect his throne
Said kill the boys, the threat'll be gone

They were mine
Time to change the Old Testament laws
No more eye for eye, mine for yours
Time to change the laws, from the start of time

You kill theirs, I'll give you mine
One death to change the laws
No longer eye for eye
No longer eye for eye
