"To Burn The Eye" lyrics - TRIVIUM

TRIVIUM
"To Burn The Eye"
(Matt Heafy)

A mind lost within its own self
Existing to feed its hunger
Your body: hollowed, empty shell
Awaiting feed of the ages

Darkness will cover the mind
Casting a shade on reasoning
Immolation of the human self
Conflagration of the ego

[Bridge:]
Burn in your own hell
Life: grand holding cell

[Pre-Chorus:]
Two become as one
One become a slave

[Chorus:]
Burn the eye to blind
Keeping truth from mind
Breathe in the life
Breathe in the lie

No longer are you human
Just a leech of the addiction
Loathing till insanity
Mental deterioration

[Bridge:]
Burn in your own hell
Life: grand holding cell

[Pre-Chorus:]
To destroy the faith
In humanity

[Chorus:]
Burn the eye to blind
Keeping truth from mind
Breathe in the life
Breathe in the lie

[Breakdown:]
Life shell-shocks your empty shell
Hatred for those privileged, unlike you
You think you will win
But you can't face the system of
Self-destruction

Life skins mind, bleeding dry
Hatred for the self and the life

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus:]
To destroy the faith
In humanity

[Chorus:]
Burn the eye to blind
Keeping truth from mind
Breathe in the life
Breathe in the lie

[Outro:]
Burn the eye to blind
Keeping truth from mind
