Sewn Shut Eyes Lyrics - The Gathering - Testament

Hate... 

Hate is a lesson we know 

Alone on its own it will die 

It eats what it needs to survive... 

It wants to survive 

Every night you look deep in your soul 

Burn the fields 

Where the the hatred is grown... 

Hate... 

Hate always seething to find 

Some way to get to your brain 

Infesting what's pure in the mind 

Hatred divine... 

Look around you is anyone pure 

Free of hatred 

Inside this cold world 

Pre-conceived 

Truth from lies 

Blind to see 

Through sewn shut eyes 

Hate breeds hate 

Hate... 

Always eager to rise 

Above all to gain full control 

Infesting what's pure in the mind 

Evil entwined... 

Even now that the seeds have been sewn 

Burn the fields 

Where the hatred still grows... 

Hate breeds hate 

How many have die 

Before we realize hate undermines 

Hate... 

Hate always eager to find 

Some way to tear out your soul 

Surviving the passage of time 

Dirty white lies... 

Back in time as our history shows 

Endless cycless 

Of hatred still flow 

Pre-conceived heartless lies 

Blind to see - through sewn shut eyes 

Is there still hope for us now? 

I said - is there still hope for us now? 

NO!
