Blinded - Ivory Tower

Envy, greed and hate

Have left scars on me

Scars as deep as canyons

Now I stand here

Face to face with my fate

I absorbed the world around me

Compassion I’ve never known

I have paid the price

And I’ve lost my mind

Nowhere to go

It all comes back into my mind

The power and respect

So close at hand

I feel they’re watching me

Both of them belonged to me

I was blinded

Like roses need the rain

Possessed me.

Led enchanted me

I was blinded

So tasteful, so sweet

I gave myself up to a force

Tormented by remorse

On the run from shadows of the past

I regret all of what I said

I think I’m changing

The way I feel the way I think

No time to waste

It’s time to part with the evil

If I had the chance to turn back

I would put right all I can

Learn to follow principles of life

Love is part os this advice

Oh, I try

If I had the chance to turn back

I would put right all I can

Learn to follow principles of life

Love is part os this advice

It’s time to regret, it’s time to respect

It’s time to feel sympathy

With those who are victimized

Yes, I was blinded
