Eye to Eye


Naked in front of the world beneath the crucified Christ
Piercing wind blows like a thousand daggers and knives
Look up at Jesus; he’s got nothing to offer but his loincloth
Even for that he’s crucified, helpless, both, in front of the world whole

I walk back down the mount of doom leaving Christ alone
Spear of life held in my hand I wait for to be opened death’s door
Thunders roar, lightening feast still the wind one toneless song
A voyage awaits me at the edge of the world where the spirits are born

Eye to eye, heart to heart
Tonight along with the hell sent angels
Morn tonight, toast tonight
For the death of the fallen angel

Burned, bruised in a god-forsaken land here I am
Christ’s blood on my face flames rage in devil’s land
Crucifix sobs upside down through the fires I walk on hot white sand
Salvation awaits me in burning hell I walk to devil, love in my hand

Down that isle Lucifer waits to embrace me in flames to welcome me home
Shadows lurking in the darkness whisper of the door of death in forgotten dawn
Given me the liberty the god did not I am saved in the bosom of devil alone
Tonight I am ready to voyage through death beyond that forbidden door
