THE EYES OF A DEAD MAN

Divining eyes see no future
Destiny is left in doubt
Fate is such a cruel creature
Spoken from the devil's mouth

Nothing is what it seems
A cacophony of screams
Legacy of slaughtered dreams

You can't reach me
You can't touch me
You don't know me
You can't love me

Drowning in the cold abyss
Hang on a forsaken wish
I see life through
The eyes of a dead man

Contempt on every last face
Jealous angels weep no tears
Leave the odd ones out in disgrace
A world full of bitter fear

Something is in those screams
A sarcophagus of dreams
Everything is what it seems

You can't reach me
You can't touch me
You don't know me
You can't love me

Drowning in the cold abyss
Hang on a forsaken wish
I see life through
The eyes of a dead man
Bittersweet, the touch of bliss
Within my apocalypse
I see life through
The eyes of dead man

Never, ever
Have I felt at peace
Among the living
Something, nothing
No resurrection
For me to long for

� � failed at what i should be
� � but you reap what you sow
� � veins weep, eternally bleed
� � it makes me scream

NO

You can't reach me
You can't touch me
You don't know me
You can't love me

Drowning in the cold abyss
Hang on a forsaken wish
I see life through
The eyes of a dead man
Bittersweet, the touch of bliss
Within my apocalypse
I see life through
The eyes of dead man
Living a life, I remiss
Pushing from the reaper's kiss
I see life through
The eyes of a dead man
