Holes Like Eyes (Desperation)

Here in Desperation, where I see holes like eyes Revel in the cruelty of God while we do penance for our sins We've dug too deep and have released our very doom This ain't no fantasy, this ain't no Khazad-dûm We've dug too deep, released something that we shouldn't have Unknowable agent of death proclaimed as Tak The American west will put you to the test In the house of the wolf, house of the scorpion Here in Desperation, where you'll see holes like eyes Neighbors will copulate on impulse while taking each other's lives Can-toi are everywhere, extending can tak's gaze From this frontier of Desperation there's no escape Oh, shit Take me to the mine Bring me to the pit Take me to the source of all of it You call it cruel Because of its effect on you Consider your effect on the environment you choose What good is profit? The future's what we stand to lose Deaf ears to prophets The greater evil here is you See holes like eyes Expand in size Until you burst from the inside out Body of man will be the tool of Tak that brings him down In desolation this place was fated to be Now reawakened, Gan is forced to intervene Do you think it's wise to donate your eyes When you never know if it's friend or foe How can we hope for any good when we're so far away From any prospect of salvation? Seems we're here to stay now In Desperation we may learn how to rely on faith In Desperation we can find out what it means to be afraid I see holes like eyes
