East of Eden

Lyrics

I was told this in a distant land Where tortured souls have to fight together in anguish And the scenes of the show Are of a cruel and violent nature Scenes of pain and cruelty Are there to be seen The arena, the town, the place was set For all to watch and see I was told this in a distant land Where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand And the mission of saddened complacency Left cold and emotionless by history Scenes of pain and cruelty Are there to be seen All the while I should have known It was you killing me Somewhere east of Eden The designs will never change Vented through others' fear The world stops at the end of the hall We watch the life force fade away And that's the price we shall have to pay Once you are dead How could the children have known
