To Be Real

Dust of time covers the halls
With pillars high carved in stone

No, I don’t believe
That all we’ve had once
Not in a dream, but in real
Now is all lost

Do you remember how we used to fly?
All over the sky
All over the world
Just to know
Where it ends

Do you recall the night
When we shared the flight
Among the stars?
When nothing could part us
So far we were to the northern lands

Was that all doomed
Or just a charm of you
I could never tell
Only follow into the realm you sang

Dust of time now covers those halls
Where we had it all
Fame and glory the way we sang them once

Ashes of the fall whispers now
Shall we follow?

If the memory flees away with the wind
Why do we remember then every dream
If it all shall fade into nothing?

I whisper to you again to face the real
But you sing to me another dream

And caress me sweetly to sleep
