I close my eyes, opening my mind to what I don’t have any more
Falling backwards in my thoughts of when life was simple
Freer to be what I wanted to be
I close my eyes to escape this reality
To a place where I was alive and death was but a friend
To share a beer with
I close my eyes to what hasn’t happened yet, opening my mind to what has
Thinking of those times I left behind, ran away from
When I was king instead of the jester
I close my eyes to open my soul to a void
A space in time purposely lost, cherished but never forgotten
Valhalla and Shangri-La, my purgatory
I close my eyes so I can look for what I can’t see
To feel what I can’t feel
Understand what can’t be understood
I close my eyes not to run away
To torture my soul
To lock it away in this dark prison lost in time
I open my eyes to wash away the blood of ages by closing doors to the past
A place where living was dieing
Where the shadows were but bought souls by Satan
