Disclaimer: Oh, come on, nothing is mine... not even the lyrics...

So, this is something I just found in the middle of my CDs... and the lyrics just freaked me out!

It might be about why Legolas is the way he is, especially considering his feelings for Aragorn. Might have been set after his death...

Thru these eyes and thru the years
Love's passed by and left me here
You're so far away
And time's brought on a change

Thru the eyes that never see
Photographs of you and me
A perfect picture
Of what could never be

God in heaven *
Don't waste your time and tears on me
Cause I'm too far gone
I don't need sympathy

God in Heaven
I'll tell you why I've grown so cold
It's the things that I've seen thru these eyes

This cold world turns again
I drown myself in sin
Sinking deeper now
The lights they grow so dim

Thru these eyes all is black
And it's too late for turning back
I'll be leaving soon
And time won't heal these wounds

God in heaven
Don't waste your time and tears on me
Cause I'm too far gone
I don't need sympathy

God in Heaven
I'll tell you why I've grown so cold
It's the things that I've seen thru these eyes

Tell me why, tell me why
I've been ripped apart and left here to die
Crimes of love, crimes of hate
It's not too late
If you take a look around you
There's got to be an answer
I ain't playing your fool
So give me what I'm after
When all I see is pain and a world full of lies
I wish I could never see a damn thing
Thru these eyes
