Taught to believe from the onset

Of heaven and hell and between

The institution's retribution

Damnation from on high

Living and dying together

Never did nothing at all

Except for the few

Who got rich off of you

And the rest

They were herded like sheep

Mine are the eyes of God

And what they see is not

What was meant to be

Mine are the eyes of God

Mine are the eyes

Mine are the eyes of God

Down the road to betrayal

Of values they held to be true

Aberrations

Deviation

To get to the spirit of life

The whole goddamn world is riding

On words for thousands of years

It's just like the west

To think it knows best

When answers are subject to change

Mine are the eyes of God

And what they see is not

What was meant to be

Mine are the eyes of God

Mine are the eyes

Mine are the eyes of God

They took what could have been

And turned it upside down

They twisted all things seen

What's lost must now be found

I got to see it

Got to believe it

I got to be there

I got to see it

Got to believe it

Given the power of reason

Yet throwing it all to the wind

No solution

In evolution

Only the blood-stained glass

A soul full of lies in contention

Begs sacred yet worships profane

Lose sight of the fact

That you're where it's at

Not the stars

Not the cross

Nor the moon

Mine are the eyes of God

And what they see is not

What was meant to be

Mine are the eyes of God

And what they see is not

What was meant to be
