The Dreamer
Verse 1
i open my eyes, and the sunlight shines thru broken castle walls
and the visions of past battles echoe thru the dark stone halls
as i walk towards the oak door, i sense there`s something wrong
see the sword arc towards me in a blink i am gone
Verse 2
running thru concrete jungles pursued by my worst fears
turning corners in slow motion weaving in and out of spears
look behind me ravens flying through the misty flowing veil
Will i ever leave this place alive , remember to exhale
Chorus
and i`m dreaming in a dream thats in a dream with no way out
and these soundproofed walls that line my mind means no one hears my shouts
ca`nt wake up or or have i woken?, see my self asleep in bed
am i living in the real world or this one inside my head?
Verse 3
high above the world im flying Golden Lions by my side
a single whisper in the breeze talks to a teardrop in my eye
Silver Dolphins weaving in and out of living breathing seas
and the thought of leaving this place brings me crashing to my knees
Verse 4
i open my eyes see the sunlight shine on friendly eggshell walls
and the sound of childrens voices echoe through familiar halls
as i walk towards the bedroom door, theres something out of place
see the mirror, hear the screaming from the man without a face
Repeat Chorus
