Hide And Seek

Shadow world remains all around
All the keys from locked doors are lost

Careless are those who carved deep scars
In pale skin untouched, caressed once
By April rains and silver moonlit kiss of the stars

This night will keep no hideaway to shelter me
From the cascading waterfalls of cleansing memories

Once upon a night we’ll join the ride
Through the night right across the darkest side
To find a key to hidden paradise
In the cold emptiness of the night
Sacred time of lost dreams
Hopes still hidden
Journey among the hills and seas
Dark game of hide and seek

Turn out the lights to see
Search in the dark
To reach the one only dream
Touch through a feel
Keep it deep in heart

This night will keep no hideaway to shelter me
From the cascading waterfalls of cleansing memories

Given no chance to escape
I’m tied to clear pages of withered verses
Pages of lost diary became pale

Paper is dead without a story
Ink turned into frozen blood in broken veins
Ghosts of vanished secret memory

Once upon a night we’ll join the ride
Through the night right across the darkest side
To find a key to hidden paradise
In the cold emptiness of the night
Sacred time of lost dreams
Hopes still hidden
Journey among the hills and seas
Dark game of hide and seek
