Northern eyes
Let in too much tomorrow
the bones and the flies
staring blankly at your sorrow

Northern eyes
weary and weathered by the winter
live for the cold light
in darkness touch the silent horror

pale blue eyes
that once watched you
walking away
in those lonely shoes

Northern eyes
steal your soul like a religion
trade your wonder for lies
and you'll have nothing left to dream on

Northern eyes
keeping times oldest secret
dreading desire
until another plague will sweep us

repeat bridge

Northern eyes
too much truth is torture
investigations in sight
invisible motives for a million murders

Northern eyes
fear the fruit of funeral flowers
harvesting the blight
a rule of eighty thousand hours

Northern eyes
Northern eyes
Northern eyes
