Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
The peacock roosts at dusk
Gradual hops, and then
From ground to fence to limb
Now the shimmer and the shakes begin
In a vanity that ends
With the eyes of God watching you
ย
The ancient design raised
A regal, ultimate array
In ecstasyโs display
Look, an ordinary face!
The same supernatural grace
And the eyes of God watching you
ย
In the meantime the bull hides
In the shadows of the trees
Heโs sent to gore your side
With the grace of your disease
ย
The bull is charging now
He will thrust and open up your side
Embrace him as he violently abides
In a rosary of mystery inside
The glint in Flanneryโs eyes
Like the eyes of God watching you
ย
With the black manโs suffering
She tattoos the Southโs Christ-haunted skin
She thrusts her peacock-feathered pen
To strike the bloody page again
She saw this dying for our sin
In the eyes of God
Wounded eyes of God
In the eyes of God
Watching you
In the eyes of God
Watching you
In the eyes of God
Watching you
In the eyes of God
Watching you
In the eyes of God
Watching you
