Lyrics: [Verse 1] Above the roofs where moonlight lies, I feel a shadow watch the skies, not like the eyes that hunt my name, not like the crowd that feeds on flame. There in the stone, beyond the light, a lonely face becomes the night, I do not run, I do not fear, some hidden sorrow calls me near. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] She turns her gaze toward the tower, and time stands still for one brief hour, no scream, no curse, no frightened prayer, only the moonlight in her hair. I hide my hands, I hide my face, the world has taught me shame and place, but in her eyes I almost see the man I never dared to be. [Pre-Chorus] Qui es-tu dans l’ombre? why does your silence call? [Pre-Chorus] Je suis le cœur oublié, behind this ancient wall. [Chorus] When eyes meet in the dark, one flame can find one spark, through stone and fear, through night and rain, two lonely souls remember pain. When eyes meet in the dark, the bells awaken every heart, if Paris sleeps and angels weep, this secret light is ours to keep. [Verse 3] They call me fire, sin, and song, a wandering soul who stayed too long, but I have seen what others hide, a wounded heart the stones divide. No monster waits behind that gaze, no devil born of holy maze, only a man the world denied, with all his tears locked deep inside. [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Her voice is warm against the cold, a mercy no one ever told, she speaks as if my name could live, as if the night had more to give. I cannot leave this tower high, yet still my heart begins to fly, for one small glance beneath the moon has changed the silence of my tomb. [Pre-Chorus] Dans la nuit de Notre Dame, two shadows breathe the same. [Chorus] When eyes meet in the dark, one flame can find one spark, through stone and fear, through night and rain, two lonely souls remember pain. When eyes meet in the dark, the bells awaken every heart, if Paris sleeps and angels weep, this secret light is ours to keep. [Bridge] If they should curse the path I take, I will not fear the stones that break. [Bridge] If she can see my soul tonight, then I can stand within the light. [Bridge] Mon cœur entend ton silence, ta lumière brise ma peur, between the tower and the flame, we are more than grief and shame. [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] When eyes meet in the dark, one flame can find one spark, through stone and fear, through night and rain, two lonely souls remember pain. When eyes meet in the dark, the bells awaken every heart, if Paris sleeps and angels weep, this secret light is ours to keep. [Final Chorus] When eyes meet in the dark, Notre Dame becomes the ark, through fire below and bells above, the night remembers forbidden love. When eyes meet in the dark, one flame can find one spark, si le monde nous sépare, our souls will shine beyond the dark.
