The Girl with empty eyes

Walking alone on this shore

My heart as for more

More? More of what?

I closed my eyes and I saw that

A girl next to a dead tree

With those empty eyes, she looked at me

The dar sky behind her on the verge of crying

She stood still, waiting for something

Then it was another vision

Something strange, a dark sun

Being of the purest, darkest black

Still emitting light to show me a path

I followed the path until its end

I've crossed swamps, forests and plains

Only to come up to this ruined castle

An ancient power, brought down to mere crumbles

In the throne room, there was this painting

Representing the family of the king

They all seemed happy but one

It was that girl from the other vision

Another blur...

It was in a dark chamber

"Who are you? What is that?"

I turned around to see who had talked

It was the girl with empty eyes

She didn't seemed afraid, mostly surprised

She pulled a rope next to her on the wall

"The guards will be here in a minute now"

I turned around to be ready

But i found myself quite heavy

I was suited in armor

And held in my hand a sword

As soon as I saw the first

I pointed my sword and thrusted

Dead in less than a second

It let me time for an incantation

I grabbed her hand, uttered a few words and we're gone

Miles away of her home

She gripped mu hand tigher and took a few step

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath

"What is your name?" she said

"I have none" I replied

"Then it will be Angkor"

"I'll accept with honnor"

We wandered, hand into hand

Talking about our lives and all

She didn't seemed to care about being taken away

In fact she seemed... free

We continued to talk, now about love

What was waiting for us?

We had dreamnt since so long

To find someone...

At one point, we stopped

How could have we been so numb?

We were still holding each other's hand

Even after all this time

We turned to face each other

Her face was getting closer

We hold each other in our arms

It was a great kiss, full of warmth

We remained there, time passed

After a while, she went back

I sighed, knowing that when I'll open my eyes

She'll not be here...

Back on the shore

Back with my sorrow

Knowing it's all my imagination

But still hoping for a premonition

I can still be proud of me

I've made her happy

Making those eyes not so empty

Was some kind of cure for me

She was maybe waiting for me

Only waiting to be free

It was a two-for-one for her

I'm a liberator and a lover

It's my turn to wait

To have those empty eyes

Will someone please come to me

And make me free

Will someone please come to me

And make me love
