Thomas Borchert - I Know Those Eyes / This Man Is Dead lyrics

[Mercédès] My God, my heart beats faster! And my mind is racing Could it be...? Could it be that you've come back to life? I know those eyes, following me Dark and familiar, and deep as the sea I know that face, strange though it seems Younger and kinder, it haunts all my dreams How can you stand there, a whisper from me? Yet somehow, be so far away? In eyes once familiar, a stranger I see With so many words left to say [Edmond] This man is dead, he is no more He died a little each day Like a thief, the Château d'If has stolen him away The mind plays tricks You are confused The man you seek is long gone Dead and cold A story told, by those he trusted, those he loved, and those who then... moved on [Edmond] I am a ghost, just a mirage Who chases traces of you [Mercédès] There in that voice... Traces of you... [Mercédès] Dark and familiar, and deep as the sea [Edmond] This man is dead, he is no more And though it's torturing me [Mercédès] I know those eyes... Torturing me [Both] Can either of us really ever be free? How can you stand there a whisper from me...? When you are still so far away? And why does the truth seem too hard to be true? With so much broken... [Edmond] And so much damage [Both] There are no words [Edmond] Left to say...
