Act I – The Awakening: 2) Lantern Eyes

(Slow-burning, eerie pop song) [Verse 1] Carved in silence, candle flame, Every face looks just the same. Orange glow, but shadows lie, Looking through those lantern eyes. [Chorus] Lantern eyes, they watch, they burn, Every corner, twist, and turn. Smiling wide but never kind, Lantern eyes will take your mind. [Bridge] In the dark, they flicker near, Whisper secrets you can’t hear. Once they’ve found you, can’t disguise, Your soul reflects in lantern eyes.
