A dream, wide awake, it's caught me again I'm here, but I fly with the wings of my mind They say that you need but to ask and receive These flames in my head melt the lead in my legs I sleep and feel as my body fills with dreams and once more I'm leaving your world Each time I die my dream becomes alive Each time I die I catch a glimpse of Hell and Paradise Each time I seem to rise again, each time I'm dragged back to life in this shell Words from a secret sleep feed into my ears I've a mind to try and shed some silver tears No fear means no dreams or so simple it seems It's so clear to me now I'm enthralled And like a slave is bound in chains So I am in dreams, if you freed me of them I'd be lost, a hopeless fool So you see; it's true, it's my dreams That get me through and each day renews The cycle from the start Eternal the seas where I set my sails tonight I drink the poison, dim the lights And wait for the storm
