Cover my eyes, cover my eyes,
Cover my eyes, (we struggle)
Too bright for night, (we struggle)
Path that I run, too small for some.

Take a step and try to walk, I fall,
Plant my feet and try to stand,
The struggle never ends,
It never ends.

Chains made of flesh, chains made of flesh,
Chains made of flesh, (we struggle)
Shackles of death, (we struggle)
Peace to my right,
Spirit of life.

Take a step and try to walk, I fall,
Plant my feet and try to stand,
The struggle never ends,
It never ends,
Never ends,
It never ends.

Cover my eyes, cover my eyes,
Just a slave to something I can't stand,
It's gonna kill me, kill the inner man,
Like a pyre burning up and down,
It's gonna bring this temple to the ground.
(we struggle)

Plant my feet and try to stand,
The struggle never ends,
Never ends,
Never ends,
Never ends, (no, no, no, oh)
It never ends.

Cover my eyes, cover my eyes,
Cover my eyes, chains made of flesh,
Cover my eyes, cover my eyes,
Chains made of flesh, cover my eyes.
