lyrics

The Dream of the Sleeper

Changing with times for a tear
Leaves my redemption bound to the light
I touched the heart of the stone
And then ignored it
The circle’s defined

Raising myself from the fear
Saving the feelings for peace of mind
Over the hills in the east
Where we destroyed it
Westward in time

I saw you so far from me so…

Digging the sky for a light
One to seduce me
And all that I see are ominous clouds
Gazing down from the night as a warning
I cannot breathe

I saw you so far from me, so down

Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known

Circles fade with time
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off

Leaving us apart
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off
Breaking my fall, taking it down, breaking off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, (where do we go?)
Taking off

Find me in the circle that you’ve drawn
Breaking my fall, taking it down, pick it up
Breaking the walls, breaking it down, break it off
Tearing the wall, taking it down, breaking off
What do we have? Where do we go?
Breaking my fall

Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known

Speaking of love defaulting to sleep
A dying dream’s final call for rebirth
Breathes with me
Finally free

Clouded skies give hope to the tears’ final wish to die in the sea
She’s so beautiful in life, and in death
She never slept nor was she ever dead
“We have to die before we die to be awake”
She said

The wind is cold
The wind is cold tonight
They’re roaming through fields of your existence
They’re singing the songs of your presence
Now be

I see myself ill in pictures that follow you
Let me sob in your love
My weeping eyes won’t judge the clouds above
My tears aren’t just water from the air
We breath so deep
I’ll get solace through your memory
I see you as if you’re in front of me

Down in the night of defeat
Alone in the lap of luxury

The aching heart of the drunkard
Pours his wine into your soul
As Intoxication slips away...
Your only witness runs down your face
Reaching for ground
Awaiting your arrival

The Seven Sleepers
And so we wake from our sleep
To find a love still breathing
And now I see what has happened to me
Awakened after centuries of sleep

Oh she never did return
She never followed me to freedom
Now I'm here alone
And it's killing me now

As I walk through the town
A calmness fills the air
Your presence surrounds me
To live again

Changing with times for a tear
As we dissolve it
