The mortal eye was opened wide
As the human soul unmasked
The visions it beheld
Made it want to look away
The tale of mankind
Was laid before this cringing eye
It lingered there
oggling this vision, sprawled before it
It lay like an outgrowth of an unattractive weed
Through the centuries
Battles raged throughout our lands
We fought for peace
Raging, fighting, killing
Reckless plunder and indescretion
Tainted our paths
We kept on fighting
Fighting for Peace
Not realizing that war begot more war
And so the mortal eye did cringe once more
Our homes were drenched in blood
Our brethern went on
Raging, fighting killing
A thousands years went by
Our blood smeared Earth
Still stood
And we kept on fighting
Searching out a peace
Carved out of blood
The Mortal eye is shut now
A stalemate is called
Peace holds a different weight
A different face today
Built upon the fallen
Upon fields smeared red
