Peace In My Eyes

PEACE IN MY EYES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Watching from a distance I can see

The armies marching away

Explosions rock my heart and soul

Watching with nothing to say 

Falling to my knees

I whisper something that I know to be

The truth and nothing but true lies

The world around me still going crazy

But there's peace in my eyes

Living in the middle of the past of what you know

You gave to me

Willing to receive and then reject it

Just because you deceive me

Falling to my knees

I wonder what I will do to hide my needs

From the pleasure of your disguise 

Your love will be the hell in me

But there's peace in my eyes

I can control not a single thing

What they say, the papers, I know they try 

It comes and goes until they wash your brain 

You can wash it all away (to hell)

But there's peace in my eyes

Sleeping at the end of a victory

The bodies of the victims play in a massive grave

No token of appreciation do we believe in

To be given to the ones that we are left to blame 

Falling to my knees 

I shudder to the thought of bleeding

Coming from my eyes and asking why we call ourselves mankind

Your blood will be my stain forever 

But there will be peace in my eyes 

Your blood and I will be together 

Forever

But there will be peace in my eyes
