When the Sun Went Down

Eyes That sketch the tunes that the pirates play And as gypsies dance as the sun goes down They rise Eyes That keep the robes as soldiers fight Then fight against the misty haze But fearless as the jackal hound Barks at the night as the sun goes down They rise But the stars of light with tears profound They shed their light when the sun goes down Eyes That pick the bones that the eagles prey And as bats in the field as the sun goes down They rise Eyes That plot the tombs where prophets bled Then mope around with demon craze Seized by devils with eerie sound That haunts the dead as the sun goes down They rise But the stars of light with tear profound They shed their light when the sun goes down Eyes That sow the fields that the potters pay And as mobs in the dark as the sun goes down They rise Eyes That wet their tongues their egos fed Then singe their souls with mocking praise And dub him king though rightly crowned And pierce his head as the sun goes down They rise But the stars of light with tears profound They shed their light when the sun goes down Eyes That tread the path that the pilot lay And as seed in the earth as the sun goes down It dies Eyes That caught the scene no wholesome sight Then glanced his stare his awesome gaze But though he faint yet onward bound Lifted up that night when the sun went down He dies But the stars of light with tears profound They fled that night when the sun went down
