A brother and a sister,
standing side by side,
a brother and a sister
who have seen the worst of life.
His eyes are full of anger.
His eyes are full of pain.
Her eyes are full of sorrow.
Her eyes are lacking hope.
Four eyes will nevermore be bright.
A husband and a wife,
standing far apart,
a husband and a wife
who have seen the worst of love.
His eyes are full of boredom.
His eyes are full of lust.
Her eyes are full of heartache.
Her eyes are lacking trust.
Four eyes will never love again.
A father and a daughter,
standing close as can be,
a father and a daughter
who have seen the worst of loss.
His eyes are full of pity.
His eyes are full of grief.
Her eyes are full of fire.
Her eyes are lacking joy.
Four eyes will not rejoice again.
A mother and a son,
standing not together,
a mother and a son
who have seen the worst of luck.
His eyes are full of terror.
His eyes are full of hate.
Her eyes are full of hurting.
Her eyes are lacking light.
Four eyes will never hope again.
A man, or a woman,
standing all alone,
a man, or a woman,
who has felt the pain of locks.
Eyes are full of color.
Eyes are full of blood.
Eyes are full of water.
Eyes are lacking faith.
Two eyes will never see again.
Eighteen eyes will never live again.
