[Chorus] |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the |
|
[Verse 1: Othello] |
|
Given the chance to meditate on life's purposes |
|
Worthless is as worthless does, a fuzzy image of love |
|
Turned promiscuous, when people suffer from lack of knowledge |
|
And death kills, pills swallowed smoothly in the |
|
Form of ignorance, vision blurry motives might as well not even exist |
|
Plagued with sin, no system of defense |
|
Not immune to blows dealt swift battered bruised |
|
Cut and scarred for life, I lose |
|
Turn to temporary supplements to fill the void |
|
Cool and my gang celebrate before we're destroyed |
|
Now I'm running into walls and hitting like Pink Floyd |
|
'Cause I played the role of idiot no-brainer decoy |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the |
|
[Verse 2: Page One] |
|
Lord, restore my life back, like sight that you (gave to the blind) |
|
I must have a higher calling than to be a (slave to the grind) |
|
Living for weekends, die for vacations, and kill for cash bonuses |
|
But still only a single emergency away from homelessness |
|
Why is my number one preoccupation |
|
The temple's preservation instead of its inhabitation? |
|
Dying of dehydration, but don't know what I thirst for |
|
Starving for revelation, but don't know what to search for |
|
What do I go to church for? 'Cause everyone goes? |
|
Worshiping God, telling Him things He already knows? |
|
Who am I? A thousand years to me is like a day to Him |
|
What could I even say to Him, that would be so profound |
|
It would earn me another jewel in my crown? |
|
But to say that I hate myself, or hesitate to affiliate myself |
|
With the Most High would insinuate that with Him I equate myself |
|
Or even elevate myself (blasphemy) |
|
As for me, I'm submitting to the higher will |
|
'Cause when the trumpet sounds it won't be no fire drill |
|
Worked all of my life to acquire skill |
|
There's very few humans I can truly say I admire still |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the |
|
[Verse 3: Othello] |
|
Sometimes I feel as if I'm casting my pearls before swine |
|
To be devoured and left behind in a pile of feces |
|
Only for me to retrieve and clean, disinfect and set aside |
|
Then placed back into my bag of tricks with my countenance |
|
Being slightly diminished, who's even listening to me as I'm ministering |
|
Probably only a small percentage |
|
I might as well just finish because I spend more time defending then uplifting |
|
In the council of sinners and left-winged religious elders |
|
The sweet smelling fragrance of myrrh was never meant to irritate or burn |
|
Cause a rash of massive outbreaks all over my body |
|
And give me more reason to turn away |
|
If I was stupid, yo I would do it, but I know better to press on through it |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the eastern sky |
|
Those with the mark of the beast burn, die |
|
Open the Book and we can each learn why |
|
I keep my eyes to the, I keep my eyes to the |
|
I keep my eyes to the |
