In Their Eyes Songtext
von Lunear

Part 1: As Far As Eye Can See

It is a dry and bad land
Where almost nothing grows
Pebbles dust and red sand
Carried to where the wind blows
Above the clouds islets are rising
Some people went into hiding

Amongst the rocks and steep paths
Living in caves to share their wrath
They are my juries they are my judges
They are my jailers my executioners
And this is where they hold me unfree
Cos I′m the paragon of all their grudges
And no one's coming to rescue me

Part 2: POW

Here I am in this prison cell
All gagged and tied up
Here I am in this prison cave
And it seems like forever


How long has it been since I slept peacefully?
How long has it been since I last walked freely?
How long has it been since I dreamed at night?
How long has it been since I last saw daylight?

Here I am in this prison cell
Weeks turn into months
Here I am in this prison cave
Months turn into years

How long has it been? I sure haven′t lost hope
How long has it been? One day I'll cut this rope
How long has it been? I haven't given up
How long has it been? Have I tried enough?

But I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I have some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

How long has it been? Why am I still alive?
How long has it been? There′s a life for me outside
How long has it been? I know I won′t end here
How long has it been? I will shed no more tears


But I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I have some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

Part 3: One Thousand and One Nights and Probably More

My body's in a prison but I′m a prisoner of my mind
I can't remember you nor everyone I′ve left behind
Time passes so slowly that a day feels like a year
But time passes so quickly it's already been years

I would like to sleep but I just can′t anymore
I just wish that someone would open that door
I would like to sleep but I just can't anymore
And I am begging please to get back to before

I've lost all sense of time
I don′t know whether it is day or night
I′ve lost all sense of time
I don't either know if it′s march or july

I'm trying to sleep
It is all I can do for now
I want to escape
Someone please show me how
I′m trying to sleep
It is all I can do for now
No matter how long it takes
I will make it somehow

I've lost all sense of time
I don′t know whether it is spring or winter
I've lost all sense of time
But I do know my chances are getting thinner

Part 4: A Horse For A Kingdom

I imagine a life
Imagine a routine
I imagine what my daily life would have been
Cos I miss basic things and simple daily facts
And those humdrum moments that helped me stay on tracks

I would give everything to get back to my life
But I know that right now I've nothing left to give
If I want to escape the first step is a knife
To get free of these ropes and to be free to live

Right now I′m not living
I′m barely surviving
I just want to wake up
Wake up every morning
With a long hot shower and a strong coffee smell
Anything that will prove that I am not in hell

I guess by now I would probably be married
And have a suburb house and a couple of kids
I can't help feeling down I′m just feeling buried
I can just daydream now I can't close my eyelids

I would give anything to once more feel alive
I just have to focus on how I can survive
All I left untidy I pledge I will do right
If I′m going to be free it won't be without fight

Right now I′m not living
I'm barely surviving
I just want to wake up
Wake up every morning
I won't mind rush hour
Stuck in a traffic jam
All that used to bother I won′t now give a damn

That must be Hell to you
It was sure Hell for me
But it now sure looks like sweet Paradise to me
That must be Hell to you
It was sure Hell for me
But it now sure looks like sweet Paradise to me

Part 5: Schrödinger′s Run

This is it
This is now
The moment I've been waiting for
This is it
It ends now
A chance I will have nevermore

A weakness in their vigilance
They′ve left opened a door
A flaw in their surveillance
I can't wait anymore

I still have my wrists tied
But my legs are free to go
Can I run blindfolded
Surrounded by my foes

Less than 60 meters
Before the barbed wire
Not spotted by the keepers
As for now they don′t fire

But I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I've some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

I know what I have to do
It′s not rocket science
I know what awaits me
They won't reward defiance

I just have to believe
They won't dare to shoot me
Cos if I stop to believe
My legs won′t carry me

Less than 40 meters
Before the barbed wire
They have found out somehow
Cos as of now they do fire

But I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I′ve some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

But I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I've some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

I keep on telling myself
I′m worth more alive than dead
More alive than dead
More alive than dead
I keep on telling myself

They sounded the alarm
Bullets whistle in my ears
I have one in my left arm
I pledged I'll shed no more tears

It must be some mistakes
They won′t dare to shoot me
Why does my whole body shakes
Spotlights are looking for me

Less than 20 meters
Before the barbed wire
I'm running for my life
I′ll make it through this fire

And I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I've some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

And I have to believe I am some kind of gem
I have to believe I've some value to them
Yes I have to believe that it is what they said
In their eyes I am worth more alive than dead

I keep on telling myself
I′m worth more alive than dead
More alive than dead
More alive than dead
I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself
I′m worth more alive than dead
More alive than dead
More alive than dead
I keep on telling myself
