Cyclops

Why am I cursed with this vision?
To see what no one else can see
An uncanny premonition
Of the things that have to be
A bargain with the beast - a pact of arcane powers
One eye given for the gift of second sight
Yet all that we received - for the foolishness of our greed
Was the unwanted vision of the day that we must die
Why am I blessed with this vision?
The gift to know what lies ahead
But still my plans of right decisions

End in constructions of the dead
All I know - all I see
The end that lies ahead of me
Hear our woe - hear our plea
Save us from a fate brought by our greed
The prophecy I’ve seen, I’ll live to see it fulfilled
How can I mourn the inevitable?
All I know - all I see

The end that lies ahead of me
Hear our woe - hear our plea
Save us from a fate brought by our greed
All that I know, all that I see
The end ahead of me
All that I show, all that I feel
The prophecy’s now real.
No one else could perceive
No one else would believe
With what I know I can no longer pretend
Another chapter ends here

My vision’s made it so clear
For now I know that this too must end
I see it now, I see it now, I see it now
Now we’re no more
Let it be known - truth lies in death
What has been shown - will forever be
I’ve seen beyond - nothing will change
All sins atoned - as we embrace eternity…
