Oh gentle eyes see nothing but greatness. And greatness seeks nothing except success. But success can be brought down by lies and arrogance. Lies make the soul weak and untrusting. Arrogance makes the heart cold and entitled. Is weak, untrusting, cold and entitled gentle and full of greatness? For what do our eyes deceive except for what he wants us to? For what does our soul deceive except for the peaceful death among everyone? For what does our eyes cherish of all the misguided beauty of helpless creatures? For what does our soul cherish except for the pain in the eyes of a dying butterfly? Oh so gentle eyes see the beauty and regret full of greatness in this disaster of a land. Oh gentle eyes at last you seek the truth.

Oh Gentle Eyes
Oh gentle eyes see nothing but greatness. And greatness seeks nothing except success. But success can be brought down by lies and arrogance. Lies make the soul weak and untrusting. Arrogance makes the heart cold and entitled. Is weak, untrusting, cold and entitled gentle and full of greatness? For what do our eyes deceive except for what he wants us to? For what does our soul deceive except for the peaceful death among everyone? For what does our eyes cherish of all the misguided beauty of helpless creatures? For what does our soul cherish except for the pain in the eyes of a dying butterfly? Oh so gentle eyes see the beauty and regret full of greatness in this disaster of a land. Oh gentle eyes at last you seek the truth.
