The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The eye upon the throne
The eternal eye saw peaceful lives drowning in bleeding waters (A blackened) Lord shows and feels misery
Yet never to reveal its ghastly misery (when your eyes are open)
Its Nocturnal strength is built on screams
They die before a dawn that would have never been to set them free / The eye saw eternity losing its form
The eye saw the light drown in its bleeding waters
(The eye saw through the void in which you call life, the only thing the eye will allow you to see.)
