They told me when I was young that I would change
  What I once saw would become like everything else
  The same -
  The open eyes of youth would close down just to cracks
  I would - never again see the real world
  Just like the rest, I'd turn my back
  I told them once when I was young
  That it was too late for me to change
  I couldn't ignore the facts
  The reality that brought this incredible pain
    [Chorus:]
  Scars within my flesh and soul
  Stayed just for show
  Seeing, I felt and saw things
  Others could never know
  They tell me now to turn my head
  So that I may rest at peace
  But ignoring the things that I know
  Would be living a life of deceit
  The perversion of love and the power of hate
  Lie deep inside my head
  I can't turn to ignorance -
  The life of the wordly blind
