Kindred Spirits - Arch / Matheos

Please open your eyes little one

By whose hand has this been done?

What sort of evil reveals

This darkness to a child?

Through windows of your out

You saw wounds of your soul

You saw wounds all too cold

Would you trust in me to hold you

If only for a little while?

I still remember you so vividly

Speaking with sad eyes

Both of us knowing

Through the door lies the end of your days

My heart was breaking

Abandoned, cold and shaking

There’s no mistaking

My shadow will follow me home

Follow me home, you’re not alone

Tomorrow is unknown for all who roam

From the dark to the light

Once again let hope take flight

Believes in me, trust in me

Follow me home

Wherever the wind blows, take me

Where I may go

She stands beside me, my shadow

She’s a reflection of me now

In a world without perfection

Resurrection of living in the moment

A solitary moment

And it’s soon to be a dream

You say animals, only animals

They are more than that to me

You say animals, only animals

But they are more than that to me

Once shattered and sadly broken

The world denied you

Yet still deep inside you

The fire rages on to be just what you are

Fearless warrior

And eyes of the blind

Guardian and protector

In fields of war you leave no man behind

You say animals, only animals

They are more than that to me

You say animals, only animals

But they are more than that to me

More than that to me

Bright eyes, tired eyes

Unpretentious heart of gold

The innocence, so vulnerable

If they wander into the darkness

Bright eyes, precious life

Living in the moment

Soon to be a dream

Blue skies, spirits high

In that moment we believed

Forever would never die, never say die

Man has deemed them lesser than

And they can’t understand or love

But I know they can, I know they can

Me and my shadow

Innocence, you opened your eyes to be crucified

By the dark souls who wander here

No trust, no love, no promise

Just the cold fear of being the hunted

I know you still dream about it

'Cause deep in the night you’re running away

From the misery, the insatiable hunger

When you’re unwanted

Sad eyes, tired eyes, come to life

The awakening

Breaking the chains that bound you

The light surrounds you

Aquiesce the insidious wild inside

To your watchful master

Wherever this broken road divides from here

We run together

The seeds of abandonment lead to lasting pain

But we won’t live in vain

We won’t look away from the face of evil

Don’t turn away void of empathy

Don’t walk away denying

We can’t turn away, innocence is dying

Sunrise, high tides

Always forever by my side

Precious life, guiding light

How we lived and how we cried

Faithful heart, I was

The universe gleaming in your eyes

Right eyes, tired eyes

Kindred spirits intertwined

Precious life, heart of gold

Vulnerable to the darkest souls

Blue skies, days gone by

It was a good, good ride

Your love too away

The darkness from my humankind

Running through the wind rye

Memories till the day I die, till the day I die

Bright eyes, tired eyes

Unpretentious heart of gold

The innocence, so vulnerable

If they wander into the darkness

Bright eyes, precious life

Living in the moment

Soon to be a dream

Blue skies, spirits high

In that moment we believed

Forever would never die

Man has deemed them lesser than

And they can’t understand or love

But I know they can

In the palm of my hand

Melting into my heart

You changed my life

Took my darkness away

And all that you were

Is now all that I am

You kindred spirit

Alone again

Blue sky, spirits

In that moment we believed

Forever would never die

Sad eyes, tired eyes

It’s never easy to say goodbye
