Eyes of Pain lyrics

The eyes of pain They stare again Sinister, hideous Screams infect my brain Days stretch into echoes Waiting never ends Silence lodged inside my chest As the daylight bends Faded morning Porcelain cracks in hand Linen torn and soiled Drenched in filth and sand Familiar faces Behind misted glass Greetings and farewells Out of rhythm, out of grasp Who could cast the stone at me? (A romantic, lost in reverie) Who could curse my honesty? (A poet drowning in belief) Let the madman keep his madness Let the elder rot in time Let the youth chase empty mirrors Let the man betray his mind I can't bear the world's affliction These wounds I cannot heal I only feel the pain That I alone conceal Forgive me: Says the Lord of Time No trespassing in these lines The voice of Chronos, echoing halls God Moros, break these binding walls End of day, a bitter trace No matter what I try to face I rise, already erased Who could cast the stone at me? Who could curse my honesty? Who could dare accuse me now For breaking, but not knowing how? Which God would dare to raise a hand For sinning, again, again, again Let the jester crave his throne Let the proud stand all alone Let the harlot dress in gold Let the liar spin what's sold Oh, shadowed days Fearful, grim, and grey Ebony in snow A garden in decay These are the only days I know The ones that were assigned The price will come, I know At the start, or at the end of time Let the wind destroy Let the ground collapse Let the fire consume Let the water react Who could cast the stone at me? (A romantic, lost in reverie) Who could curse my honesty? (A poet drowning in belief) Tell me it's never too late to try Tell me dreams are meant to fly Show me love is more than pain Show me beauty in the rain But still, it's there The void I feared Whole and unbroken It sees me clear In the hush of night It will find me No way out From this illusioned blight Let the rain fall Let the bear sleep Let the eagle soar Let the poet dream
