lyrics

Eyes of the Innocents
c 2010 (Turner/Robinson)

The eyes of innocents
Gaze their final glimpse of yesterday,
Then shuffle on their way.

Cries from time's corridor
Echo distant warriors 'til they're heard,
But never spoke a word.

Conscience in formal dress
Barred and locked behind an open door.
Where they were before.

Reflecting countless years
Cast between the mirrors in the sea,
Reflecting all eternity.

I remember times that are yet to be,
Modeled on an age long prophecy.
Time resonates with unknowing frequency.

The mists of Avalon would part,
The names were called as they embark.
As tears of Isis fall like rain,

Sands of time slip through the glass,
Elegies of times long past
Once the arcane

Has it all come down to this?
Is there something that I missed?
One final tryst?

Did this all happen before?
I'm sure it has.
What the future has in store,
Lies in the past.

Maybe it's only a dream,
It's your choice to laugh or scream,
Quickly choose, time's running short.

Toss the dice and cast the die,
Questions that have no reply
Impede your counsel from the sky!


Monuments cross the land
Millennia, still they stand.
Not out of tune,
Still watching the moon.
A secret past
The die is cast
But Mayans wait
Before the gates open wide.

And so the mighty flower
Hides herself away.
Until the chains of power
Hear a whisper say,

I too have died so many many times
With no significance.
The ones who overcame all of their crimes
Are the eyes of innocents

I remember times that are yet to be,
Modeled on an age long prophecy.
Time resonates with unknowing frequency.

I remember times that are yet to be,
Struggling with forgotten prophecy.
Only the eyes of the innocents can see

I remember times that are yet to be,
I remember times that are yet to see,
I remember... Time.

Cash cavaliers
Were knowing for years
That the temperature's begun to rise.
Ringing in my ears,
A secret past appears.
Is it too late for much compromise?

We cower here
To avoid the glare
of the eyes of the innocents.

Waters are heightening,
The vice keeps on tightening,
So the time has come to watch the sky.
No use re-writing,
It's time for enlightening,
And to wake from our collective lie.

From age to age
We've fashioned our cage
For the eyes of the innocents
