Darkness in Your Eyes

****

**[Verse 1]**  
What darkness lies within your eyes!  
How loudly beats my trembling heart!  
Your ghastly smile, a grim surprise,  
In me, like echo, leaves its mark.  

**[Chorus]**  
Oh, how it frightens me to see you here,  
Where dead men’s cries disturb the air!  
No light, no flame to banish fear,  
Just wind that howls with sorrow’s tear…  

**[Verse 2]**  
The clammy gloom, like festering ooze,  
Creeps o’er the humps and tangled roots.  
I stand alone here, face to face,  
Accustomed now to dire straits.  

**[Chorus]**  
Oh, how it frightens me to see you here,  
Where dead men’s cries disturb the air!  
No light, no flame to banish fear,  
Just wind that howls with sorrow’s tear…  

**[Verse 3]**  
You stand in silence, cloak-clad, still,  
No word of “yes” or “no” you spill.  
“Who are you? Whence? How many years?”  
But laughter loud is all I hear…  

**[Outro]**  
…all I hear…
