I live in another world where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lovers pearls
and all I see are dark eyes
A cock is crowing far away
and another soldiers deep in prayer
Some mothers child has gone astray
she can't find him anywhere
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise
Whom natures beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes
They tell me to be discreet
for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet
and from where they stand, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game
where beauty goes unrecognised
All I feel is heat and flame
and all I see are dark eyes
Oh, the french girl, she's in paradise
and a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet
and passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes
