Eye for Eye Lyrics


You friendly light

day of justice!

gods avenge the mortals,

suffering on earth

not escaping them.

Entangled in garments

woven by the Erinnyes

Here he lies, for my joy

Pays the price for fathers Crimes

hunted my father in a dispute for power

Begging for protection

He came back to the hearth,

as not to stain it with blood.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth

This line will never ever end

Foot for foot, hand for hand

I can't help I am

Atreus, He prepared a happy

slaughter fest

serving my father

the flesh of his own children.

broke their feet and fingers

hid them at the bottom of the bowl.

Unsuspecting

He took the meat

and ate.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth

This line will never ever end

Foot for foot, hand for hand

I can't help I am

Realizing horrible deed,

Groaning, tumbling, suffering

vomiting up the slaughtered meat,

crying out unbearable distress

Smashing table into pieces

Uttering the righteous curse

"So end the whole tribe of Artreus"

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth

This line will never ever end

Foot for foot, hand for hand

I can't help I am
