closing shadows, guns drawn
 the hands of time are not thine friend

 and it's an eye for an eye
 before you die
 don't close your eyes
 or waste your time
 it's an eye for an eye

 final hour drawing nearer and
 the seconds seem like years
 vision clear, barrel cold
 and the albatross watches me
 mother mercy forgive sins
 time to face the bringer of tears

 and now the world is cold outside
 and I cannot feel, w here is the end
 where is the end that has come for me
 can you see... can you see...

 and I cried
 I lied
 I died watching the face of the sun...

 and it's an eye for an eye
 before you die
 don't close your eyes
 or waste your time
 it's an eye for an eye
