=Lyrics=
 
<pre>
 
Whose tears on a gaping voice
 
Who's stretching arms match
 
The hunger of mine
 
There lips will they never join
 
But always draw me closer
 
And further entwined
 
With a promise dealer understand
 
All freedoms fade away
 
To a point of view
 
Where many different pathways meet
 
And we're standing on this precipice
 
With nothing much to gain save
 
But the deep blue screams
 
Of falling dreams
 
With our next move
 
Heaven hide your eyes
 
Heaven's eyes will never dry
 
The shades of a thousand steel
 
Come flashing by my face
 
In the fury of war
 
In desolation and abandoned fields
 
The hungry make their stand
 
When they'll stand for no more
 
Hear the passion in their voices
 
See the heaven in their eyes
 
Their hopes and schemes are waiting
 
Dreams of less than paradise
 
And sometimes we make promises
 
We never mean to keep
 
For blackmail is the only deal
 
A promise dealer sees
 
Heaven hide your eyes
 
Heaven's eyes will never dry
