Lyrics

I see so little hope in you
So much despair
As I look in your eyes I wonder
What thoughts linger there
Life means nothing to you
At least that's what they say
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away

How were we to know what was going on inside your mind
You never let it show what was going on behind
Those killer's eyes
Killer's eyes

You've seen your picture in the paper
You're little sister's pinned it on the wall
She thinks you're in some kind of movie
Imagine her surprise when she saw you on the news
Reporters came around and asked for interviews
So little compassion, so icy cool
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum
But you haven't got the right to blow it to kingdom come

How could we know what it was like inside a killer's mind
It never really showed, you kept the secret deep inside
Those killer's eyes
Killer's eyes

You say the world is full of bullshit
So you kill just as you see fit
They say that you're a fanatic with a mission
We all go through hell in some kind of way
Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?
When you were young you had a vision
Why'd you go and do a thing like that?
And now we see you on the television
Imagine our surprise when we saw you on the news
And reporters came around and asked for interviews

I see so little hope in you
So much despair
As I look in your eyes I wonder
What thoughts linger there
Life means nothing to you
At least that's what they say
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away

When you were just a child
You cried the way that other children cried
But how were we to know
Each tear that fell was from a killer's eye

I see so little hope in you
So much despair
As I look in your eyes I wonder
What thoughts linger there
Life means nothing to you
At least that's what they say
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away

Those killer's eyes
See the whites of their eyes
Those killer's eyes
See the whites of their eyes
