Artist picture
Jim Dinan also records under the name Beyond the Eyes of Men. Beyond the Eyes of Men's sound is best described as minimal with dark introspective vocals and haunting dissonance wrapped in the sonic texture of post punk, acoustic and ambient music. Lyrically, there are myriad experiences pushing and pulling in continuous conflict with desire. Members: James Dinan - Guitar, Bass & Vox -various guest musicians

Story behind the song
Seceretly I would like to perform this song stripped down with an upright bass, acoustic guitar and drums/percussion.
BEYOND THE EYES OF MEN: Unlock the Mirror
Lyrics
A sea of faces Still burning We feel exposed Too careful learning We have no fear Trust what's been said Sacrifice the reading Icons are born Labor not for them Icons will fall Not forgotten Paralyzing truth Sacrifice the writing Our trust is dead Voices are silent They remain faceless Feelings are painless We're still exposed Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling Icons still falling
