"blink of an eye"

sent away from the troubles of another
it all looks very white outside
she didn't find herself today
though she didn't exactly look

the shiver of cold might as well have been
a manifestation and the
eyes of gold and silver
blink and turn away...

blink and slip away
blink and fall awake to be

  engrained in the colossus and the temple
  repaved into the crumbling streets
  enslaved by the man of the people
  only to be let go

crawling beneath the tunnel of this symphony
remembering the shaking and the blindness
the marks of the leather are all gone
and she can begin to see her eyes again...

eyes of gold (silver) and silver (gold)
eyes of love (hate) and hate (love)
blink and see again
blink and stand awake to be

  engrained in the colossus and the temple
  repaved into the crumbling streets
  enslaved by the man of the people
  only to be let go
