[Intro]
A black lens opens above the dust
No mercy left, no faith to trust
[Verse 1]
You hang where the ceiling meets the rain
A patient wound above the lane
Every promise buckles under your stare
I taste the rust you leave in the air
The clock keeps biting through the wall
One more warning, one more fall
I drag my name across the floor
You never blink, you ask for more
[Pre-Chorus]
No sleep, no pardon
No gate, no garden
Your silence weighs a thousand tons
The hunt begins before it runs
[Chorus]
Eye of evil, fixed on me
Burning through what I used to be
Eye of evil, cold and wide
You turn every door to the other side
[Verse 2]
The faithful line up beneath the wire
Hands held high, eyes full of fire
Their prayers come back with broken teeth
A hungry god beneath the street
I built a shelter out of names
You found the cracks, you fed the flames
Now every breath becomes a debt
And every dawn arrives in debt
[Breakdown]
Down!
Knees in the gravel
Down!
No voice, no battle
Down!
The air is getting thin
Down!
You wear my face again
[Chorus]
Eye of evil, fixed on me
Burning through what I used to be
Eye of evil, cold and wide
You turn every door to the other side
[Bridge]
I tried to outrun the feeling
I tried to drown the sound
But despair has patient fingers
And it pulls me underground
[Breakdown]
Still watching
Still waiting
Still counting
Still taking
[Final Chorus]
Eye of evil, look away
Let one clean breath survive the day
Eye of evil, break the glass
Let the endless pressure pass
[Outro]
The room goes dark
The stare remains
A hollow sky
A crown of chains
