You see it in their eyes

You see it in their eyes


The moon that times the tide
That echos from behind
The wind that steers the storm
So glad that we’ve been born

The sun that brought us here
Through darkness and through fear
Connecting with the light
Embracing shadows of the night

Troubled though they were
As if they didn’t care
Enlightened, so they say
On immoral hats they pray!

The sanctions of the law
Where justice has no place
You see it in their eyes
Those times are written on their face

Logic tells us not to
Experience much the same
Instinct gathers no evidence
Passion ignites the flame

If all we heard was true
And toxins always pure
There’d be no fool amongst us
Those hearts would bleed no more


Of all the things possessed
The truth is plain to see
The art of your desire
Will surely set you free!
