(Music & Lyrics By James Durbin)
V1
Hear the wolves cry In the darkness You can feel a chill run down your spine
In the distance No resisting Soon will come the time to run or
Fight until the bitter end & find our way back out again
Even if we win tonight This is only just the beginning
PRE
Laying waste to the un-divine In the quest for glory and you will
Leave the rest of the world behind There's no other way
CHORUS
I'll walk through hell alone & swear as long as I'm still breathing
I'll live to overthrow the hellion & blind the Evil Eye
V2
Stand before thy enemy The light decays & air dissolves
For neither life gleam beyond If the dead won't bend to the living
PRE
Like the tales of the Jotunheim In the quest for glory lest I will
Leave the warmth of the world behind There's no other way
CHORUS
I'll walk through hell alone & swear as long as I'm still breathing
I'll live to overthrow the hellion & blind the Evil Eye
Blind the Evil Eye Blind the Evil Eye
SOLO
CHORUS
I'll walk through hell alone & swear as long as I'm still breathing
I'll live to overthrow the hellion & blind the Evil Eye
I'll walk through hell alone & swear as long as I'm still breathing
I'll live to overthrow the hellion & blind the Evil Eye
Blind the Evil Eye Blind the Evil Eye
The lyrics to James Durbin's song "Evil Eye" speak about fighting against darkness and evil, and the determination to succeed even when facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The song begins by describing a dark and foreboding atmosphere, with wolves howling in the distance and the feeling of a chill running down one's spine. The verses suggest that there is a fight to be had, with the choice to either run or stand and fight until the bitter end. Even if they are successful in their fight, the battle is far from over and there will always be more challenges to face.
The pre-chorus talks about leaving the "un-divine" behind in a quest for glory, with the singer leaving behind everything else in order to succeed. The chorus is a statement of unwavering determination, declaring the intent to walk through hell and overcome all obstacles in order to defeat the "Evil Eye" and the forces of darkness. The second verse speaks to the difficulty of the fight, with the singer standing before their enemy as everything around them decays and falls apart. The pre-chorus again emphasizes the choice to leave everything else behind and pursue glory at any cost.
Overall, the lyrics to "Evil Eye" speak to the human struggle against darkness and the importance of perseverance and determination in overcoming obstacles.

Hear the wolves cry In the darkness You can feel a chill run down your spine
The looming danger that surrounds us is evident in the howling of the wolves under the cover of darkness. It sends shivers down our spines, and we know we must be prepared for the worst.
In the distance No resisting Soon will come the time to run or
Fight until the bitter end & find our way back out again
Despite the inevitable approach of the danger, we must not back down and fight until we emerge victorious, even if that means finding our bearings and starting anew.
Even if we win tonight This is only just the beginning
Triumph in a single battle does not mean the war is over. There are many more battles left to fight as we continue on the path we've chosen.
Laying waste to the un-divine In the quest for glory and you will
Leave the rest of the world behind There's no other way
We must rid ourselves of anything that stands between us and our goals and accept the fact that this may mean distancing ourselves from the rest of the world.
I'll walk through hell alone & swear as long as I'm still breathing
I'll live to overthrow the hellion & blind the Evil Eye
I am prepared to face any adversity, no matter how daunting, as long as I am alive. I am committed to battling the forces of darkness and putting an end to their malevolence.
Stand before thy enemy The light decays & air dissolves
For neither life gleam beyond If the dead won't bend to the living
Standing face to face with one's foe is a moment of truth when everything fades into insignificance. In this moment, life and death hold no meaning, except for the ultimate victory over evil.
Like the tales of the Jotunheim In the quest for glory lest I will
Leave the warmth of the world behind There's no other way
Similar to the tales of Nordic mythology, we must take risks and go to extreme lengths to claim our victories, even if it means leaving behind the comforts of life we once knew.
Blind the Evil Eye Blind the Evil Eye
Our ultimate goal is to render the powers of darkness powerless to harm anyone ever again.

This is my favourite track from this effing awesome album. I was already blown away before I discovered this genius hails from American Idol! I have just watched his audition in front of Steven Tyler. Wow. James Durbin, Sir, you deserve every success and thank you for your talent and for this album. It's getting me through early morning weight training sessions. Metal!
