Egyptian Eyes

Your heart cries
I can see it in you eyes
They show the hurt you hide
Deep inside

The love The hate,
The anger that cannot be sate
The memory, the blame,
The feeling of shame

The childhood you were robbed of
The total lack of love
The chains of hate that bind you
in everything you do

The pain, the tragedy,
A soul darker than ebony
A soul confused and lost
That wants revenge... at any cost

The rage
The inability to turn the page
On the story we call "life"
That's filled with strife

"I don't care if I die,"
You furiously cry
"As long as revenge is mine..."
That is what's burned in your mind

I see in your eyes
A torrent of lies
I see... Denial
Emotions on trial

When I look into your Egyptian Eyes
My heart is filled with sighs
You need love
Yet you push it away with a shove

I will wait for you to see
Even if it take an eternity
That you're loved by somebody
That someone is me
