lyrics

Where were you when the light left your eyes
(Burgess-M.O’Bryant)
When you can’t see thae light
At the end of the tunnel
But you go ahead and step inside
Some’ll call that a leap of faith
Some call that suicide
When it all goes to shit at the same time
Your low and your mean and it aint no surprise
When someone you loved stuck a knife in your side
Where were you when the light left your eyes?
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Snuffed out by sin and arrogant pride
Where were you when the light left your eyes
I killed em all at the headbanger’s ball
And left ‘em all with a blank stare
Life didn’t work out quite like they thought
And I just couldn’t tell ‘em it was fair
Well my band kicked me out
For playin’ too loud
To sing songs about drinkin’ in bars
So I ate some dirt and I told some lies
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Snuffed out by sin and arrogant pride
Where were you when the light left your eyes
Then the good people clap and welcome you in
They will wipe away tears and forget all of this
When those saint fire those amps up
And the losers all win
Where were you when the light caught your eyes
Where were you when the light caught your eyes
Where were you when the light caught your eyes
When tomorrow triumphed and yesterday died
Where were you when the light caught your eyes
