Story Behind the Song
A song regarding the spanish civil war and how hitler's army went in, to enforce it. That and other personal issues interwoven together.
Lyrics
Blind Eye
The sound of pain remains like the flood after the rain
The steady rhythm drives you insane they don’t complain
Their ignorance builds as you try to uphold your sanity unsuccessfully
You store it inside; eventually it turns to dread, fear and self-pity
How this end has, come to be
How this end has, come to be
Thunder crashes a child dies you don’t even compromise
Your nostrils flare, they’re taking your air you don’t realize
There’s no room for you and you know its true in the sandstorm
All the times you failed the times you ruined them never re-born
How this end has, come to be
How this end has, come to be
I’ll give your reign in Spain
The consequences you’ll never regain
Just smile, wave, pretend you’re sane
Simple minds don’t think again
And the shit comes down; you don’t retort or frown, you walk away
And they break you in like a shoe worn thin; you just hold your grin
And they hold the whip blood running down your back you don’t look back
When they lower your casket into the ground they don’t remember why you died they stare at you with their blind eye
If we took your reign in Spain
Your attack would fail you’d remain
Cold, shivering in the rain
Your simple mind won’t think again
