You know I went blind years ago From staring at a woman in flames I was a kid then with no shame And she stood naked in that cave And now all I see is her silver silhouette And now all I see is her silver silhouette
There is a spirit who crosses these woods at night I only know him from the sound of his wings Beating the air, breaking branches, scattering the leaves And sometimes he calls to me, but I just haven't got the ears to hear
In these still and snowed in woods Among the withered leafless trees You may see by the light of a forgotten day A spotless owl spreads his wings And flies away towards a purple gleam on the horizon And flies away towards a purple gleam and you can hear him sing
Oh, open your EYES Oh, open your EYES Oh, open your EYES Oh, open your EYES
And oh, open your EYES This world is not so black and white There is a color that will not die The dawn of the day that never ends The dawn of the day that never ends The dawn of the day that never ends.
