From the recording Songs From the Apocalypse- Rock
Lyrics
Bloodshot Stare
I ain’t slept in a week been walking down burned out empty streets
Though the rage inside my head behind coal-black shades I’m seething red
A heart-beat with no sound visionless and hollowed out
I got that bloodshot stare broke deep and unrepaired
Mercy that once was there has turned its back and run
This place may have me chained but my eyes are unafraid
I see this world though flames damage to be done
If hells in play well I don’t care I’ve got that blood shot stare
More times than I should I’ve seen evil bury something good
And the hate can cloud your mind only vengeance truly satisfies
Repeat chorus/bridge
My aim is steady it won’t be pretty but damn I’m ready to let this play
Ground is shakin’ nightmares waking ‘til all my demons have seen their graves
I got that bloodshot stare broke deep and unrepaired
Mercy that once was there is now a loaded gun
This place may have me chained but my eyes are unrestrained
I’ll see this world in flames justice to be done
It’s time for Hell to pay its share I’ve got that blood shot stare
