UNKLE Eye for an Eye Lyrics

Even now in Heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

Does our rule benefit the earth?
Does it help the grass to grow?
The sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you passed through this Night?

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

Where you're going, you're not coming back from

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

This great Evil...
Where's it coming from?
How'd it steal into the world?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known

Run, run, run...
Run, run, run...
An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
(An eye for an eye...)
Are you righteous?
(A tooth for a tooth...)
Kind?
(Run, run, run but you sure can't hide...)
Does your confidence lie in this?
(An eye for an eye...)
Are you loved by all?
(A tooth for a tooth...)
Do you imagine your sufferings will be less?
(Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...)
Because you loved goodness, truth?
An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...
What are you to me?
