Stone Eyes

Cold as Ice

Stone Eyes

you look but do not see

you do not see what is inside of me

so cold so dark so unfeeling

what would you find if I removed the peeling

an animal of pure disdain

growing darker from the falling rain

an arrow pierced thru my heart

how can I explain just where do I start

everywhere I look I see tears

souls who are hurting hiding their fears

their clouded future and sad doubt

no understanding of what it's all about

so I turn my heart to stone

knowing I will wind up left all alone

and my eyes they refuse to look

they turned to stone too stolen by the crook

love divine never stopping by

in this world of mine and now I cry

never to stroll in the court of the king

strumming my mandolin and now I sing

where should I go to slowly die

no need for you to wonder why

wearing my dark veiled disguise

trying to hide my cold stone eyes
