Blue eyed reasons justify your sorrow
then become a cross that will know you
One more dance for your thirsty lips to swallow
while the convicts you name try to follow
Thoughts, your nails, will crucify what hurt you
what you once saw as life, what you've been through
Yet you say that you can't perceive
and you claim that you don't believe
that you're trying to retrieve
trying to retrieve a love you had
And you say that you fail to see
and you cry: It cannot be!
Harken, take a look!
Harken, take a look: The boards are real!
And all that you've lived up to
they will hurl their failures at you
it's a curse of lasting sight
you will curse your lasting sight when love goes blind
Now your darkness aims to kill your dream view
as you senses shut down, it'll strike you
All is gone! Lightning tears and crashes
your reason, in flames, burns to ashes
Blue eyed dancers left you with your sorrow
yet your night's lonely truth breeds a morrow
And you know that you do perceive
that you fully do conceive
that the love you lost was blind
the love you lost was blind, but you still see
And the nails, the boards, the convicts
they have passed a final verdict:
life is died by those
life is died by those too blind to see
that the rhythms of your lifetimes
they will survive these hard times
for life is truly won
life is truly won by those who see
