I never had a soul despite what my eyes told I lost it in the angels war of old My eyes are black as space and in them you won't find a trace Of anything but raw passion and pain
I never took your soul despite what you've been sold When our eyes met your heart was black as coal If anything was done, well, maybe I just gave you one And now my ghost wanes in New England's sun
I can't see where I'm heading I lost track of where I've been I stare through rain-soaked windows Before an empty glass of gin I turn from my reflection I can't gaze upon the dead I'm scared of where I'm heading I lost faith in where I've been
I'm ever hunting souls despite what deaths unfold Until the day my eyes forever close To set my conscious free, To find what's whole in me To wander spaces deep infinite sea
I'll be hunting darkness down And from it I will cut a shroud I'll drape it over all around here I'll force it deep inside the ground All love is dead and won't be found You won't be seeing me around here anymore
