Averting Our Eyes
by Amon Amarth
I'm but a simple man
Who fell as victim to the circumstances.
I was given with a shameful stain
To decorate my clear nuances
Do not treat on me, girl
I was merely just a fiction
I got nothing more to sell
For your selfish prediction
Who fell as victim to the circumstances.
I was given with a shameful stain
To decorate my clear nuances
Do not treat on me, girl
I was merely just a fiction
I got nothing more to sell
For your selfish prediction
A dagger in the dark
Worth dozens swords at dawn
How can you ask forgiveness-
When you can barely atone?
Worth dozens swords at dawn
How can you ask forgiveness-
When you can barely atone?
Chorus:
With every lie, your smile suffice
Averting our eyes, averting our eyes
Did you believe I am not that wise?
Averting our eyes, averting our eyes
With every lie, your smile suffice
Averting our eyes, averting our eyes
Did you believe I am not that wise?
Averting our eyes, averting our eyes
A pestilence of thoughts
Profanity so pure
I saw from a far that you crave for scars
But I'm not the one to scar you
Profanity so pure
I saw from a far that you crave for scars
But I'm not the one to scar you
A dismal past and future
That you put down to display
How everyone molested you
Even god shined you away
That you put down to display
How everyone molested you
Even god shined you away
I'm but a simple man
But even I hold some few dirty tricks
And with my back against the wall
You can surely use a little fix
I've gone against your wills
I've turn the other chick
This old dog has finally
Learn a damn new trick
But even I hold some few dirty tricks
And with my back against the wall
You can surely use a little fix
I've gone against your wills
I've turn the other chick
This old dog has finally
Learn a damn new trick
Chorus…
Bright star of foreign man
Your lies are all forgotten well
From crooked smile you draw a plan
Of how to chime the Jewish knell
Bright star of foreign man
Your lies are all forgotten well
From crooked smile you draw a plan
Of how to chime the Jewish knell
Pre:
I am caught inside illusion of an illiterate mind
I'll cut my easy way out, Force the foresight to bleed wine
Since God created hatred, Since Able cried to Cane
We've become the tools to our own demonic plans
I am caught inside illusion of an illiterate mind
I'll cut my easy way out, Force the foresight to bleed wine
Since God created hatred, Since Able cried to Cane
We've become the tools to our own demonic plans
Chorus:
Abomination of your soul
Has granted life to dead man's dream
And through your sewn shut eyes
You'll watch the dying of my sins
Abomination of your soul
Has granted life to dead man's dream
And through your sewn shut eyes
You'll watch the dying of my sins
Sins are all told quick
Our annals repeat themselves again
We only taught by stones and sticks
Indeed the hardest way we learn
Our annals repeat themselves again
We only taught by stones and sticks
Indeed the hardest way we learn

Chorus...
Chorus...
Between the Reichstag and the temples laid to rest
Where the serpents slowly rebuild again their nests
Where the serpents slowly rebuild again their nests
Chorus 2:
Abomination of your soul
Has granted life to dead man's dream
An Inspiration born of hate
Too many years have sealed its fate
Abomination of your soul
Has granted life to dead man's dream
An Inspiration born of hate
Too many years have sealed its fate
