Black Eyes |
| Come down from the lion’s back |
| Call down to the endless sleepers |
| Give life to the dimming days |
| That run in an endless stream now |
| In the black of the eye |
| In the heat of the act |
| Is a crack in the ice |
| Come down from the iron wheel |
| Come back from the endless labor |
| Look down on the rolling waves |
| That strike on the crumbling reef now |
| Is what the body becomes |
| In the bellow aloud |
| In the crack of the drum |
| But if the body dies |
| What is left of the heart |
| Burns white |
| No light on the western shore |
| No sign of the ships at anchor |
| No sound but the roaring winds |
| No warmth but the life behind the eye |
| And what the body allows |
| Is a flash in the heart |
| Until the memory dies |
| And a forever life |
| Is an infinite lie |
| Hung wide |
