The Argus

[Verse 1]

Yesterday we lost our lives

Tomorrow we were born

Fortunes smiled upon us

Sacrifice the Argus

All that he might help us see

Magna eyes that track for miles

Looking for disease

Puzzled by the mountain

Tricked by the sea

[Chorus]

And the Argus is practiced compassion

With an eye on you, as one is on me

Will the god eye grant his forgiveness?

And allow he that's lived, a reason to see?

[Verse 2]

Counting days and building walls

Bells ring so's to warn

All the signs that guide us

Chosen by the Argus

Tell me he has chosen you

Led by form, we'll shed our souls

Trusting like a child

See the dark face that saved us

Drink from his empty eyes

[Chorus]

And the Argus is practiced compassion

With an eye on you, as one is on me

Will the god eye grant his forgiveness?

Letting droplets of light erupt from the sea?

[Breakdown]

[Verse 3]

Lying in beds of garlic and orchid

He closes an eye, which closes another

And in sleep, he dreams of watching and looking

And feather clouds dancing, he curls up his lid and sleeps

Swirling with visions of man's confusion

All of the work, done just to appease him

The Argus, he cries, though love has its place in the sun

It's only man's fear that carries him on
