Eyes Of A Stranger - QUEENSRŸCHE - Operation: Mindcrime

from Building Empires.....

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
Eyes of a Stranger midi

One of the best songs ever made! Queensryche are so fuckin' underrated that it hurts...

[praetorian18]

one of the maybe strongest songs ever heard

@Flaggius

I agree with you on Queensryche being underrated and it sucks because songs like this has made them on of the best 80s and 90s bands of all time.

[67astrodog]

Fuck I miss the 80s. My buddy and I smoked a blunt and listened to this whole album the day it came out. It's fucking awesome. All the songs tell one long story.

old school is the shit

[mindcrime2010]

the riffs at the end are orgasmic....

[ZillaFitness]

Possibly the greatest rock song ever recorded.

@Stophocles back when Helloween were looking for a singer to take over from Kai Hansen...they wanted someone who could sing like Mr Tate...and Kiske turned out to be that man :) The perfect singer to take after..

[SPDworks]

Such a killer tune! Killer and relevant to the point that it aches to hear the lyrics and the notes that make the song, together in the same place...

[cavecandle31]

I can never forget, never m never never. So good so melodic and the words are so damn relevant today more than ever

[javieracing]

@Stophocles it shoud be the other way around...

@Flaggius Especially when Chris DeGarmo was part of Queensryche. I think he was the mastermind behind all the music.
