Fear The Future - With My Eyes Wide Open lyrics

A moon-kissed night in June The forest in full bloom And whispering warm winds her groom A silhouette vast and vile Climbed the dark velvet sky The black beast she rose... and stole the starlight Black – is all that it will be Dread – all around I see Pain – all I feel is pain Hate – and all I know is hate For every flower festering flies To every truth one bitter lie In every perfection there are flaws To every caress a touch of claws No, I know, you’ve never been there No, I know, you haven’t seen it No, I know, to you it’s hidden I stand with my eyes wide open Dark – I foresee the coming days Bitter – changes in uncanny ways Spawn – of Armageddon unleashed Nightmare – season for man and beast I never asked for these eyes, never wanted to see beyond the lies Here I stand, eyes wide open Here I stand, eyes wide open Seeker – what lies beyond Perceiver – I see the world so differently Believer – who are you to me Deceiver – how you blind me With my Eyes wide open, I still stand! Man a meek small creature So chained and entangled With so little knowledge So limited and strangled Why must I limit myself Why do I have to be confined We are said to have a choice... God knows I made mine No, I know, you’ve never been here No, I know, you haven’t seen it No, I know, to you it’s hidden I stand with my eyes wide open Silent and beautiful The forest in fullest bloom And I still stand With my eyes wide open
