Those Eyes
Where's all the strength I had
In that other life
Where are all my loving children
What happened to my wife
Where's all the strength I had
So many years ago
Where has all my time been taken
And who's stolen my soul
Terrified to go
But too tired to stay
Please take my pain away
'Cause there's a man standing by my bed
Who says he'll take it all away
You don't have to suffer more
Is all that he will say
Then he reaches out his hand
I can see it and I understand
But I cannot shake that look that I see
In those eyes
I know I've done some good
Though I know I've sinned
Will I be punished always
The nightmare never ends
The only women I loved was lost
To the falling sands of time
Why do I deserve a punishment
Ten-fold to my crimes
Terrified to go
But too tired to stay
Please take my pain away
'Cause there's a man standing by my bed
Who says he'll take it all away
You don't have to suffer more
No not another day
He tells me that he's my friend
And I just want it all to end
But the one thing that he can't disguise in his lies
Is those eyes
Where are you taking me
I'm taking you to see
The things you always wanted
The life that you wished was your own
Then I start to see
What lies in front of me
The roof around me fading
The gates above me start to close
And they're standing in crowds
Faces covered with shrouds
And I'm screaming so loud
No one seems to hear
Earth pours in like a tide
As they put me inside
And they lock me in the darkness
Forever more
In that other life
Where are all my loving children
What happened to my wife
Where's all the strength I had
So many years ago
Where has all my time been taken
And who's stolen my soul
Terrified to go
But too tired to stay
Please take my pain away
'Cause there's a man standing by my bed
Who says he'll take it all away
You don't have to suffer more
Is all that he will say
Then he reaches out his hand
I can see it and I understand
But I cannot shake that look that I see
In those eyes
I know I've done some good
Though I know I've sinned
Will I be punished always
The nightmare never ends
The only women I loved was lost
To the falling sands of time
Why do I deserve a punishment
Ten-fold to my crimes
Terrified to go
But too tired to stay
Please take my pain away
'Cause there's a man standing by my bed
Who says he'll take it all away
You don't have to suffer more
No not another day
He tells me that he's my friend
And I just want it all to end
But the one thing that he can't disguise in his lies
Is those eyes
Where are you taking me
I'm taking you to see
The things you always wanted
The life that you wished was your own
Then I start to see
What lies in front of me
The roof around me fading
The gates above me start to close
And they're standing in crowds
Faces covered with shrouds
And I'm screaming so loud
No one seems to hear
Earth pours in like a tide
As they put me inside
And they lock me in the darkness
Forever more
