An eye for an eye
leaves everyone blind
vengeance is always
best left behind
To repay evil with evil
cannot balance a scale
it's just amplified evil
doling out one more fail
Things are only made worse
when you follow that course
why do men still believe
they're immune to this curse
Will man ever learn
or let his soul burn
while anger within him
continues to churn
It's time to wake up
repay evil with kind
your reward is within
as it brings peace of mind
Breaking the circle
preserving our sight
it may not be easy
but well worth the fight

An eye for an eye
leaves everyone blind
vengeance is always
best left behind
To repay evil with evil
cannot balance a scale
it's just amplified evil
doling out one more fail
Things are only made worse
when you follow that course
why do men still believe
they're immune to this curse
Will man ever learn
or let his soul burn
while anger within him
continues to churn
It's time to wake up
repay evil with kind
your reward is within
as it brings peace of mind
Breaking the circle
preserving our sight
it may not be easy
but well worth the fight
