Eye For An Eye from REINCARNATION 420 (for Tuff Gong) an album by ‘Les Paul’s’ (The Paul’s).
The track is about a liberal justice system that seems to care more about the rights of the perpetrator of the crime(s) than it does for the victims. A seemingly universal reflection on the current state of the world and in this instance the Norway massacre were 77 people, mostly children were killed and it is used as an example of the Western World’s seemingly constant disregard for the sanctity of human life, where murderers and rapist sometimes, in fact often, receive ridiculously lenient sentences but the scars that the surviving victims carry, they will carry for the rest of their lives.

Eye For An Eye lyrics
An eye for an eye
I and I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye and eye for an eye, eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, eye for an eye, eye for an eye for an eye
An eye for an eye
On the island the children they played
It was a sunny day, a sunny day
The people thought it was a safe zone
But from that island 69 children never came home
Killed by a vile monster in a shirt and tie
They deserved to live they didn’t deserve to die
He was a monster devoid of any emotion
He’d already killed 8 more in a car explosion
A monster
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, eye for an eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye for an eye
An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye
Said he believed in Nationalism
Was against his country’s Liberalism
He wanted to change it all with a gun
He is yet another of Satan’s many sons
Yet another of Satan’s many sons
He stood in court like an actor on stage
Protected by a bullet proof glass cage
His lack of respect and arrogance was plain to see
He did not feel anything for the children’s families, no, no
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye
22 years is all he got
For what he did he deserved to rot
3 and a half months for each of the 77 lives he took
He will make millions when he writes a book
He lives in a hotel behind bars
To a few sickos he’s their shining star
He doesn’t care he snuffed out all those children’s lights
All he moans about are the breaches of his Human Rights!
I don’t say his name, he’s just the killer of 77, Lord
May he burn in hell, he won’t go to heaven
I, I, I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, eye for an eye, eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
