This song is based on Aite, my Joe/Katse novel. However, if you have not read that story, do not assume that this song gives away the ending. Kyla and Jay's Duet Stranger in Your Eyes (In Love and War) K: Didn't you say we would be together forever? How many times did you swear our love would never die? But now I see a stranger in your eyes And that stranger wants me to die How many times did you swear that you would protect me? Didn't you say it didn't matter who was wrong or right? Now that I see the stranger in your eyes I wonder was it all a lie. J: Don't try to shame me by calling me a liar Don't try to lay blame you know quite well where it lies Now I can see the stranger in your eyes And anything between us has died Don't try to imply that I'm somehow the villain here We both know what you did! We both know what you're really like Now that I see the stranger in your eyes I no longer give a damn for your life Both: Through madness and death we have come through the fire Like phoenixes we were doomed to rise But now that I see the stranger in your eyes The love between us cannot survive K: Why must I always lose that which I most desire? How many times must my dreams be shattered and break? In a world where nobody can love me What's the point of going on each day? What's the point of going on this way? J: How many people have you lured to their death this way? How many people have drowned in your desire? You are a demon with a heart of ice But your freezing ice cannot chill my soul of fire Your bitter ice cannot quench my soul of fire K: Why do you claim that I'm somehow trying to destroy you? I'm still the same! it's you who sees me in a different light Shadows of the past have blinded your sight But if you refuse to love me, then I might then I might Become the demon that you fight. J: Part of me wants to remember that I loved you Part of me wants to weep for what you've become But the stronger part remembers what you were in the beginning And seeks revenge still for what you've done My stronger part seeks revenge for what you've done. Both: Through madness and death we have come through the fire But even a phoenix can be burnt by lies And now that I see the stranger in your eyes Only the war between us can survive, can survive Only the hatred between us can survive Now that you've become a stranger in my eyes.
