These Absent Eyes Songtext
von Soilwork

Bloodstained velvet, mercury dreams
I saw the shadow of death on your face
You came floating up into the stars
I realize how fragile we are
There was a time when the world was ours
But when you′re blessed, you're not counting the hours
Should′ve known that the end was near
But I was busy ignoring my fears
In search for something brighter than the sun
All the things I've earned will be no more
I'm passive aggressive
Prepare to attack
I′ve seen the world
But run out of trust in man
These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we′ll be strong enough to decide
Black like silver, black as the rain
Your words turned into lies, sharing your pain
This love will be touched by the lies
That all came alive when you disappeared You sapped my yearning, you fucked up your attire
You made me a saint, then I made you a liar
I gave you my weakness, you gave me your strength
You sucked my longing until none remains
In search for something brighter than the sun
All the things I've earned will be no more
I′m passive aggressive
Prepare to attack
I've seen the world
But run out of trust in man
These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we′ll be strong enough to decide
These absent eyes will be disguised
These absent eyes
Bloodstained velvet
Black like silver
These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide
These absent eyes will be disguised
