I Can See the Eye Lyrics


Stars shining at the light upon my head

For our great ones, the ones who mattered

Stars resting where he walked to the other side

Yet he didn't want them, he didn't need them

Stars they all craved, they all came to seek

But they all fled, they all walked away

I can hear him calling my name in the depths of the earth

I can feel his hand on my shoulder, his breath down my neck

I can see his eye, the eye of a Dead God

A door to nowhere upon a stair in the mist

Now I know what he knew, how cold was the touch?

Gazing at the sky below, staring at the moving stones

Now I feel what he felt, how long was the fall?

Staring at myself through the cracks of my mind

Now I whisper what he cried, how scared was the child?

How scared was the child?

I see the eye! I see you now!

I see the lifeless guarding your secrets

Out of my world, out of our sight

They move below us, forsaken protectors!

I can hear him calling my name in the depths of the earth

I can feel his hand on my shoulder, his breath down my neck

I can see the eye, the eye of a Dead God

I can see his eye, the eye of a Dead God

"A voice for the silence

A face for the terror

A body for the darkness

A wound for the wanting

A knife for the knowing

A hold for the hollow

A truth for the seeker

A charge for the warden

An Eye for the Eyeless"

I feel it now, the touch of the blade

I hear them now, the senseless prayers

Here, just a boy in the end

From lies you were born, at the edges of their faith

The jewel of the south at the edges of my world

The stars, the stars turn around my head

At last my forlornness will come to and end
