@SpadesOfDarkness45 You're right! And I was totally wrong with the Bela Lugosi fact (memo to self: Don't get pissed and post)...Apparently, they are the eyes of Conrad Veidt's character 'Cesare' in Robert Weine's 1920 German Expressionist classic, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari... So that's me put in my place then ;-)
@rubettes75 To quote EA Poe: "It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night ... I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."
"It is the beating of his hideous heart...and yep, the blue one!"
Recognize it when it happens to you Learn to recognize it and know what to do Stop clinging on, let go, own nothing Do it out of love When everything is gone You no longer care Your soul standing naked and bare Stripped down to the truth Then you'll find everything On heaven and earth The struggle is long The struggle is hard The struggle is beautiful
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pile of Trivia bolloxs info:
The eyes on the Album cover belong to Bela Lugosi.... but, one of the sets of Eyes is upside down... can you guess which?

@Loobs666 Is it the blue set of eyes? The shine in the eyes are different from the others.

Rocks!
Shouldn´t be without the song "Kaliyuga" which gives a tremendous intro on the album!
