They Came with Eyes of Fire

[Verse 1]
I see the skies are torn like old photograph apart
By serpentine of stars and red industrial lights
Insomnia's my only friend tonight
Come drown with me in this Bohemian wine
As attic walls are closing in
Room's full of smoke
No air to breathe
Dark Stygian sights
Enshroud me from behind

[Chorus]
They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

[Verse 2]
I see the world is crumbling under my feet like ice
Fall into abyss of inner emptiness

[Refrain]
Three sleepless days and nights
Of writing all in vain
Through litany and pain
From strings to human hearts

[Bridge]
They'll remember my name

[Verse 3]
From the darkest chimerical depths of imagination
Seven figures in black came to chant in unspeakable tongues

[Bridge]
Genius' way mus be covered with suffering and pain
Everything starts when the nothingness ends

[Refrain]
Three sleepless days and nights
Of writing all in vain
Through litany and pain
From strings to human hearts
The Master heard your prayers
You're chosen for this role
He doesn't want your soul
It's lifeless anyway

[Chorus]
They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
I see the skies are torn like an old photograph apart
By serpentine of stars and red industrial lights
Insomnia's my only friend tonight
Come drown with me in this Bohemian wine
As attic walls are closing in
Room's full of smoke
No air to breathe

[Outro]
My beautiful swan
Your wings are in chains
We shall not dance again
