[Verse 1] Hidden in the palace Living in its walls I've seen so many secrets Of all these arrogant fools When they think no one is watching Is my favourite time to spy Opening up eye holes Of paintings with a slide Adultery, poison Venom and spite Beatings of the servants All throughout the night But the chamber in the basement Is the best place of all I see so many sordid acts Racks, nails, blades and saws [Pre-Chorus] But I don't move a muscle My breath steady and slow As I smile and feel a thrill Watching every bloody show These secret slits in paintings, Dark corners, holes and gaps Enjoying all the suffering Counting the vicious slaps [Chorus] (Eyes in the wall) They have no clue I'm here (Eyes in the wall) A thrill for every tear Peeking, smiling, laughing As I watch my actors play (My eyes in the wall) And it's here that I'll stay [Verse 2] The Queen and the stable boy The King and a maid I then watch the fallout As I beam wide with pride Blood sprays left Screams echo loud Once to the face A heap in the ground Belladonna crushed Dropped into the soup Forced smiles on their faces As their masters are duped It's a pleasure to see Human nature first hand Side glances, balled fists, Fake bows - it's so grand! [Pre-Chorus] But I still don't move a muscle My breath steady and slow As I smile with a thrill Watching every perfect show These secret slits in paintings Dark corners, holes and gaps Relishing their suffering A smirk for every smack [Chorus] (Eyes in the wall) They have no idea I'm here (Eyes in the wall) A thrill for every tear Spying, smiling, laughing As I watch my actors play (My eyes in the wall) And it's here that I'll stay [Instrumental] [Bridge] Limbs in the pantry Scalps on the stone Their pettiness continues As they worship their false throne But I see the whole of the truth Through all the misery and sadness The only one that really knows That this place is full of madness I'm a voyeur by nature A sadist in my heart All the evil that I witness Is a work of pure art [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Eyes in the wall (They have no clue I'm here) Eyes in the wall (A thrill for every tear) Watching, nodding, laughing (As I watch my actors play) My eyes in the wall (And it's here that I'll stay) [Instrumental] [Whispered] Eyes in the wall (Eyes in the wall) [End]
