Once I dreamt in quiet silent seconds
Vanguards of another restless spin
Once I dreamt and fell and realized
What lies before, still lies ahead
What lies before, still lies ahead

They are lurking in the shadows, in the vales
In the fires and the mold
Creeping ever closer
As a new day would unfold
In the velvet of the dark, I know
They lie in waiting
Change was slow in coming but was eager on the wane
Soon turned into doubt that it all will stay the same
In the velvet of the night, I know
They are waiting
But where to go?
From the top of the world to the end of the sea
From the morning all through the night
I did recoil the days of yearning
And set fire to the rain
Washed my hands in rivers clear
Unbinding all restraint
But in the blinding of the stars, I know
They lie in waiting
Now cast them silhouettes into the fire!
Clinging to a ledge
Flaming circle of my days
I abhor this maze I built myself to wander
Stay? Astray?
Now where to go?
From the top of the world to the end of the sea
From the morning all through the night
I will stand forever
From the top of the world to the end of the sea
From the morning all through the night
I am standing on the edge of the world
♪
Deep in the soul lies a feverish maybe
Song of thousand tongues and beguiling tone
Neither pure or even salient
Touch my heart and turn to stone
And time will come
Time will tell
Time is blessing - time is hell
Horizons lead to new horizons
I am here, hanging on
♪
I am the shadows
I am the sun
I am the shadows
I am the sun
Where to now? No defenses
Tightrope gone - defy or run
The yawning chasm
The dark eternal
Pounding heart and then

Who are you?
Who are you?
When the night is long?
Who are you?
Who are you?
♪
Whenever in your dread and weary
In hours of disbelief
Whatever path you will never tread
Below the vast massif
♪
And in the hours of depletion
When all you know will just fatigue
When in the garden of your reveries
All dreams will faint away
Come hear
I would like to believe I am braver than this
But I still have no trust in you
And in the hour of forgiving
When the world lies lost in sleep
Whatever path you did never tread
Still lies before, still lies ahead
I would like to believe I am braver than this
But I still have no trust in you
And I'd like to believe I am stronger than this
From darkness into the light
