Font:      
Align:    
  • I. Innocence (instrumental)
  • II. Cold Daze
  • The coldness of confusion
  • Hangs in the morning air as
  • Brazen bells ring reality
  • To announce the conquerer dawn
  • Removed from nights fleeting trance
  • Plunged headlong into cold days
  • Where in a circle we wander
  • The barren wastes of our pasts
  • III. Daylight Dreamers
  • Daylight dreamers awaken on
  • Deserts of desperation
  • Lonely lives learn to live on
  • islands of isolation
  • Surrounded by violent oceans
  • of hate and hopeless sorrows
  • Daylight dreamers envision
  • tranquil seas in save tomorrows
  • Dreaming through the darkened day
  • Along tempest torn strands
  • Desperately grasping the grains
  • of hope that flit through our hands
  • As they fall we tighten our hold
  • While the waves claim the final few
  • taken without ceremony
  • They drift out of view
  • Washed away with the tides of time
  • Slipped through our fingers as dreams do
  • IV. Quietus
  • From sleeping visions
  • Daily were torn
  • In waking hours
  • Hopes are forlorn
  • Is all we do and all we dream
  • doomed to drown in a hopeless stream?
  • Wishing life were made of lasting visions
  • in eternal sleep
  • And if that rest were filled with sorrow
  • still we'd sleep
  • In the madness of a silent eternity
  • We'd find solace in
  • False visions that protect us
  • from reality
  • Enter ivory gates through midnite skies
  • Daylight dreamers in private parades
  • Perform before perpetual dawn
  • As dusk engulfs the gate of horn.
  • Ivory towers appear beyond the gate
  • Invisible fortressess of escape
  • Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears
  • Impervious to reality
  • V. Ivory Tower
  • Behind sullen doors
  • Untouched within
  • Safe from summer storms
  • and winter winds
  • Relentless tempests
  • Can weaken walls
  • Towers falter when
  • reality calls
  • Untouchable by all without
  • Lost in the silken web youth may weave
  • Tangled threads seem a stronghold
  • But illusions can deceive
  • A cold daze plagues the air
  • Driven by aging winds
  • The walls give way to the rush
  • and let reality in
  • VI. Whispers on the wind
  • Misty morning on a windswept plain
  • Embers of a fortress all that remain
  • The seeds of life that burned within
  • have flown like whispers on the wind
  • From the sleepers world
  • I look towards darkening skys
  • Through the violet haze of summer storms
  • The sun leaves tired eyes
  • VII.Acquiescence
  • Betrayed by innocence
  • Deceived by delusions
  • Plagiarized promises
  • Pale into empty hopes
  • Ivory towers bow down
  • In reference to daylight
  • As dreamers awaken
  • In sleepers somber shade
  • Ocean waves shift leaving
  • only memories
  • Final traces of hope
  • are swallowed in the deep
  • Despair sends a certain calm
  • A vague sense of relief
  • Released from all our longings
  • Silently we'll sleep
  • Hope leads to quiet desperation
  • When reality obscures the dream
  • Makes the mind a grave of memories
  • That wander like the lonely breeze
  • Whose whispers echo through ruins rust
  • of towers torn and dreams turned to dust
  • VIII. Retrospect (instrumental
