I woke up this morning, I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed there you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Blood on the streets
Blood flowin' down
I hear the blood of my blood
Cryin' from the ground
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
On the plains of Jordan
I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil
Of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Released on The Rising in 2002, the album
that won a 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and that was also nominated for Album Of The Year.
The misinterpretation of Bruce lyrics strikes again. it's been noted that when this song is played in
concert, the line "I want an eye for an eye" gets a huge cheer from the crowd. Rather than seeing an
opportunity to stop and think why this line is uttered, many see it as a realization of their desire for
revenge. However, this passion for justice is as empty as the sky above.
