An Eye For An Eye Lyrics
Oh great God, If you really exist
For many years, I am asking you why
Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive?
Where is justice? Where is punishment
Something big is brewing
You can see it in my eyes
They burn with a beastly hatred
That will be realised
Why are the innocent dead?
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They think they are above the law
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
An eye for an eye
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
As I began to talk to god
I've even lost my mind
I only want to know one thing
What I've done, was it wrong or right
Why are the innocent dead?
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They think they are above the law
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
An eye for an eye
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
An eye for an eye
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
A loving husband, devoted father
Till the day the mob opened the fire
Retaliation and vindictiveness
His only mission and ardent desire
Why are the innocent dead?
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They think they are above the law
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
An eye for an eye
An eye for an eye
For many years, I am asking you why
Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive?
Where is justice? Where is punishment
You can see it in my eyes
They burn with a beastly hatred
That will be realised
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
I've even lost my mind
I only want to know one thing
What I've done, was it wrong or right
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
Inveterate despite
An eye for an eye
A one man war on crime
Till the day the mob opened the fire
Retaliation and vindictiveness
His only mission and ardent desire
Come on god, answer me
Why are the guilty alive?
Don't want to be deceived
They're trying to break my spine
Where is justice, where is punishment
Where is the human line
An eye for an eye

This is about a guy or the singer, Tom, trying to figure out why God lets bad things happen to good people asks him why bad people get away with everything. Seems to be a big question he's been really wondering about.
