Eyes Of A Stranger

by Rough Silk

on Roots of Hate (1993)

They sell you sixty-nine and a thousand tales
Just to make your fortune
In this kingdom made of glitter and tears
Honesty on the run
Afraid to touch the taken sun
And the lost light a candle

But don't forget you can touch the sky
(Just follow your heart)

You can't get out - with eyes of a stranger
Can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

So scream and shout
With eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind

Silent scream in the night
Parasites try to hide
Behind success, glam and glory
Passion dies - all these lies
Oppression - fashion - blinded eyes
And the raped tell the story

But don't forget you can touch the sky
(Just follow your heart)

You can't get out - with eyes of a stranger
Can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

So scream and shout
With eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind
