Like a brilliant thief You stole into the room Night was so long Now all the lights are way too bright One small voice Of conquest and doubt One deep breath Easily sweeps the stars away A world of pantomime in black and white A wingless angel on a willful flight With eyes wide open - through an opened door With eyes wide open - swim the river running deep With eyes wide open - that chase the clouds away In skies wide open - eyes of knowing, opened eyes, and they've already seen it all Go out at night Perplex the dark with light Stretch out this life To see what it is, what it means Build a stronghold Of keepsakes and air And dreams you can cling to After the magic has all gone
In places of turmoil and uncertain sights Untouched you'll grow in the shadow of a wall With eyes wide open - through a boundless room With eyes wide open - the road unfolds ahead With eyes wide open - paint your sky in red and blue In nights wide open - I rest beside of you Watching every pulse and the peace of your sleep A world of pantomime in black and white A wingless angel on a willful flight With eyes wide open - through a boundless room With eyes wide open - the road unfolds ahead With eyes wide open - paint your sky in red and blue In nights wide open - I rest beside of you Watching every pulse and the peace of your sleep
