Eyes of a Child - Praying Mantis

Enter the light- let me see your face,

Let me know that you’re still there

Can you see it now in those shattered dreams

The depth into which you stare

Scale your thoughts as madness dawns see how far you’ll fall

Reality and dreams collide the road of sanity is so small,

Dark holds no secrets anymore

With the eyes of a child, you’re the masterpiece of innocence

Through the eyes of life, there is so much you’ll never see.

Life burned away the heart within there is so much that one can bear

An eternity of love now dies away but there’s no one left to share

In your heart you’ve carved an epitaph, an emblem of your soul

A chalice holds your bitter blood and the life that heaven stole

'Cause life can’t hold you, lost all those years your unfinished song,

'Cause life won’t hold you,

The strands of time they could be so strong.

Locked in a cruel place with your painful memories

There’s no harder way to fall this hell no one wants to see.

We’re all creatures of life — that the world can’t let go

In the verses of time — A journey we’ll all learn to know

With the eyes of a child, you’re the masterpiece of innocence

Through the eyes of life, there is so much you’ll never see.

With the eyes of a child,

You are naked in your destiny

Through the eyes of the world now the angels are your enemy.
