Lyrics
I live on the east side,
fighting the west side
no one told me what for
a man with a Glass Eye
stands by my bedside
I think I've seen him before
Don't open it, Don't open it
Don't open up that door
he curses the others
your fathers and brothers
he says war is the way of the lord
it's so hard to believe
and my own mother grieves
for her son who's taken the sword
Don't open it, Don't open it
Don't open up that door
I know what lies on the other side
the earth is frozen and it's painted white
bodies thrown across the land
in the middle there stands the man
one Glass Eye
and a sword in his hand
he's calling my name
he's calling my name
Don't open it, Don't open it
Don't open up that door
