Qaiser Ali Khan - With Brazen Eyes, Vacant and Cracked lyrics

With brazen eyes, vacant and cracked And parched tongue stuck out for a drop, I waited far too long for you Love Come embrace me for I am gone. In my primordial existence and this life With a body of a youth and rusted mind I leaped through age and reached dotage Bypa**ing the exuberance of unseen prime. Corners of my eyes hold mermaid tears Dearer to me than the elixir of life Have turned stony in their bony sockets While I lie under the scorching sun And my lips contort in a rainbow-smile. A world we carry inside our hearts Where black hailstorms wreak havoc A world is there where you live my love Beautiful, alluring and full of love But I have gone too far to come Standing on the threshold of nihilism Life-in-d**h and d**h-in-life. Sweetheart, your big black eyes may not Turn me from my chosen path The wind that wantons with your hair May not summon my soul from there I had longed for the world I entered now It's harsh, blighted and full of snow To gloat and cherish over your world It's better to feed the worms of underworld For there my flash will suffer only the bite Whilst here my soul was blackened as night. With your voice calling me in whispers And excruciating pain wrings my veins I hail the world that receives with love Adieu a world that deceives with love. Qasier Ali Khan 19-08-2015
