IN OUR EYES

Hold on, don't walk away:
we waited for summer, winter came
we'd come in to the homes,
but it snowed inside
we waited for the next day
so many years waited for the next day
we hide our eyes behind the eyelids' blinds

in our eyes, battle-cries 'CHARGE!'
in our eyes, warnings 'GET BACK!'
in our eyes, birth of the day
and death of the flame
in our eyes, starry night
in our eyes, a lost Paradise
in our eyes, doors wide shut
what's to your liking, DECIDE

we were burned with thirst, the water was far
we longed for light, there was no star
we would come out to the streets
and drink water from  pools
we wanted to sing, there was nothing to sing
we wanted to sleep, but there were no dreams
we would spell doom, but the orchestra overruled

in our eyes, battle-cries 'CHARGE!'
in our eyes, warnings 'GET BACK!'
in our eyes, birth of the day
and death of the flame
in our eyes, starry night
in our eyes, a lost Paradise
in our eyes, doors wide shut
what's to your liking, DECIDE
