Eyes Wide Open

(album: Princess Alice And The Broken Arrow - 2007)

Goodnight, baby
Don't you despair
Sleep tight, maybe
Morning will answer your prayers

Eyes wide open
Going nowhere
No words spoken
Handle your dreams with great care

Their faces still haunt me
I tremble reluctantly
Like children they wonder
Their freedom dies endlessly

We're all crazy
That's just a fact
They can't save me
Heaven will come dressed in black

It's all over
Into the fire
Hatred smoulders
Gathered 'round each funeral pyre

Their faces still haunt me
I tremble reluctantly
Like children they wonder
Their freedom dies endlessly

The place is still burning
They crumble in sympathy
This nonsense surrounds us
No reason, no empathy

People feel forsaken
In this place together
Everything is breaking
It will take forever

Their faces still haunt me
I tremble reluctantly
Like children they wonder
Their freedom dies endlessly

The place is still burning
They crumble in sympathy
This nonsense surrounds us
No reason, no empathy
