A thousand different faces all around,
All alike,
Stories bound.
Eyes in black, eyes in white,
Eyes of a gladiator in a fight,
Eyes in hazel, eyes in green,
Eyes of people seen..Unseen,
Eyes of scars, eyes of pain,
Eyes of Glory in shattered remains,
Eyes of honest thieves from yore
Of a Sherwood tale of rich and poor.
Hands so coarse,
Sabers bright,
Recalling the charge of a Brigade of Light.
Sparks in helmets of crusades
In the lands of a Sultan
And a thousand maids.
Smiling visages of souls entwined.
Heart-breaking weeps o' babes
Left behind.
Eyes that speak of vaults of the soul;
Epitaphs of broken hearts in the Fall.
Eyes in different faces all around,
Open books alike
With surnames crowned.

The "Sherwood tale" and "honest thieves" mentioned above refer to the legendary story of Robin Hood.
