Tales And Dreams

In the night alone
I dream of far lands and long-lost home
Hope is a ghost walking away
A pale fear leading me astray

And huge golden moon is rising above the horizon
Among the clouds so dark, beyond skies frozen

The road runs away
To the edge of day
Fading in golden sundown

I haunt a dream of home
But see those blue eyes every dawn
Before the dream is gone

Awakening is like curse
Because reality takes you away
Rage is rising again
And heart burns

Why do you come teasing me every night?
Why do you tear me apart?
A princess, an angel, dear love…

The story is a dream, tale unreal
Where are you, swan of pure white?
Enter my sleep one misty morning
Like it’s the end of time
And you are real, my life…

In the night of dreams untold
Walking lost and alone
I seek a cure from this desire
Flaming within with never tamed fire

I will seek you forevermore
Before the world falls
I will search until the one last dawn
To feel you real against my hollow soul

I search forevermore
To know you are not a dream
Save me from this cold
