Moonglow

Ghost in the moonlight Throw your veil upon these grounds Cold! The night is star-bright Pale is all beauty of your gown Dark, frame a fire! Mystery of a blood red rose Dark! Shine sapphire! You won't leave me on my own Raised my head above the haze I woke up to a world I feel almost humanized Tender loving all around Apparently profound Through self-deceitful eyes Now what am I supposed to be For sure it can't be me In orderly array My, it's feeling so unreal How daunting to be free In the light of day Lost in this world - with no place to go Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon Grant me admission tonight Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright golden gloom: Ghost in the moon Whispers sounding from the brake Sinister eyes along the way A phantom rushing through the night Make haste, run from the dawn Back across the Rubicon To the shelter from the light Before the sun is gonna rise To reflect it in their eyes A sight no one's gonna stand Oh your blood is gonna freeze Different blood: a different breed No one's gonna comprehend They teach you love, they make you belong... Suck you in to spit you out, the rage is on... Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight Veiling boon - Ghost in the moon Grant me admission tonight Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright golden gloom: Ghost in the moon Like a rushing thunder You're a shade in the swampland And a Trojan horse they'd rowel into your dreams They chase you into dawn To a silken bed of quicksand Rush, so you can breathe, they'll give you up You're in my world past remedy Asking, wondering, look at me: waiting... prompting... I may be drawn to something That I can't phrase for you Even though it's true I won't be what they long to see in me No matter how desperately they reach out for me A sedating hand They don't understand, I don't comprehend I can't take no more of their shallow light Burning me inside Then I am better off a scorn in the night I am rumour, I am nightmare That I'm bound to dream myself Half human - and it's frightening - To just guess the other half I'm a misfit on a journey and I'm afraid my destiny Has been sealed right from the outset: To immure the real me I'll wane in this world Just me and the glow of the moon - yeah wow For the chill of the night is gonna summon a fire A strange world on the brink, or a maniacal dream? Dead matter alive - heart, soul and desire Rise from the smoke and the fire - From maniacal dreams Crucible-born and unseen - Megalo-maniacal dream Megalo-maniacal dream To chase the... Ghost in the moonglow Throw your gown upon the light Ghost in the moonglow Whisper from the starlit skies Dark - frame a fire Mystery of a blood red rose Moon - spark a fire You won't leave me on my own

What if I would script a dream? And if I'd let you in? I'd be your door out of a stark truth... Leave a stark reality An arrant giveness I'd make you fall to be there for you Let Morpheus commit his spark To a stray soul wandering Errant in the dark Chase your dream! If you don't mind don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream! When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's coming to life... Beautiful in colour United in their creed Reasonable people dreaming ordinary dreams Rise above confusion And leverage the weak Dive into the shuffle And then tap into the freak show And Morpheus commits his spark To a plain soul wandering, errant in the dark Chase your dream! If you don't mind don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream! When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's coming to life... May it charm the living May it ease misgiving Intoxicating, dazing Rapture of the shallow Dazed and captured Say you wanna be now Sneak into their dream now Suck up to their love You're the master of their freakshow Give into temptation Seek and bring salvation Mine now, Suburbia! Tomorrow it's the nation Wait for a savior Rising from the tranquil sea The book of shallows Bringing forth a common dream Going with the grain Numb the pain We are common sense Knock them down a peg Make them beg for deliverance Rapture of the deep, they believe Take a deep bow Give them what they need now Mingle with the creep show Going with the grain Numb the pain We are common sense Knock them down a peg Make them beg for deliverance Rapture of the deep, they believe Take a deep bow Give them what they need now Mingle with the creep show Wait for a savior Rising from the tranquil sea The book of shallows Bringing forth a common dream Let Morpheus commit his spark To a stray soul wandering in the dark Chase your dream! If you don't mind don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan Chase your dream! If you don't mind don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan

Walking down a lonely road A ghost city sidewalk scene And I wonder if there's a place Where they bury all their unborn dreams - oh Some castle in the sky A place that only I can back down to And look out for that shining guide ablaze Out somewhere Waiting for a sign in vain That’s gonna shine away the pain Gonna draw the moonlight down All is gonna tumble down Are you gonna guide me starlight Guide me starlight Won't you send me a sign? You're adrift until you strand Desert island of mundanity You circle round your solitude Within the walls they call austerity I know maybe it’s insane To dream of what you'll never gain Nothing on the line Driven by unsettled certainty Waiting for a sign in vain That's gonna shine away the pain Gonna cite a figment down Yet I'm gonna stick around Are you gonna guide me starlight Guide me starlight Are you out there, anywhere, at all? Anywhere at all If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground Just like you before they're near me Run out in the clouds forever near me I won't even be a foolish memory Waiting for a sign in vain Orphan star, shine on me Waiting for a sign... Waiting for a sign in vain Gonna shine away the pain Gonna draw the moonlight down All is gonna tumble down Are you gonna hear me starlight Hear me starlight Are you out there anywhere at all Waiting for a sign... Waiting for a sign in vain Gonna shine away the pain Gonna draw the moonlight down All is gonna tumble down Are you gonna hear me starlight Hear me starlight Are you out there

Hold on tight You don't let go Bygone days bound to corrode Sentimental, poignant Shady recollections slowly fade away Beckon to nothing All had begun just with a dream Watered down Sometimes you failed to feel Pushed around, you’re losing ground The sands of time they taint the instant A stifled fire You fade to nothing Will you fell like you don't belong Or will you cease to feel at all Throw yourself into the waves Let 'em roll and carry you away into the sea To wash off all fragility Throw yourself into the ocean Jaded, blunt, invisible... Invincible! Throw yourself into the waves Let ’ em roll, carry you away into the sea To wash away all fragility Throw yourself into the ocean Jaded, blunt, invisible... Placid, numb and jaded Throw yourself into the waves Let 'em roll and carry you away into the sea To wash away all fragility Throw yourself into the ocean Jaded, blunt, invisible... Invincible!

The writing's on the wall Will you go on and fool yourself? In no time you’ll be done Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow Why walk the stoney road? You won't get out alive Nobody understands it, do you? Come in and look around: Every single stroke, they say Was worth the pain Now, in this gallery of wonder You wonder what it's all about Well, selling sun in the rain! We’re gonna give them bite-sized harmony Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats Dreams and fire - we are alchemy You set out on the losing end Gonna make you whole again Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy No one to be left in need We're gilding their reality We gotta keep 'em dancing While tears pour out of blackened skies Another shade of drama Spectators weeping over cries That broken heroes Drag from crazy minds And by the way, now: They who pay the piper call the tune at last Knowing what you wanna give And what is gonna do Feeding on desire The spectres shall arise Right in front of their eyes We're gonna give them perfect harmony Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats Dreams and fire - we are alchemy You set out on the losing end Gonna make you whole again Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy No one to be left in need We're gilding their reality We'd never lie We’re never ever gonna let you down When danger and distraction lie in wait We’d never lie When dreams aspire to take you down We' never dare to lie to you You’re just spared the part of truth That doesn't make any sense to you... Dreams and fire - we are alchemy You set out on the losing end Gonna make you whole again Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy No one's to be left in need A new take on reality

For too long now I've been Adrift in this ocean that washed over me Diluting the secrets that you had to keep From the world that's been... ...spinning around you, with and without you Sedating, unkind Show you the way Deliver and faint! Relish to stand in line! Oh I guess you'll find no one to blame We're tied to the rules of someone else's game Try to fly, flap your wings As you look to the night sky A gilded cage in the twilight You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh Oh, dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear Oh For quite a while I have been The one that I thought I was happy to be Masquerade, at least a shadow play No one's gonna see... ...behind the fascade, those rallying calls You're afraid to awake Look at the sky, you can't defy The dark that is calling your name You're blind by the beauty around You're numb by the touch And you're deaf to the sound Of the sweet-smelling Bright melody of the moonlight That devours the bars in the twilight You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh Dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change tonight You will see the Great Pan in the stars The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting Too much to fathom, until it unfolds Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing King of the wave, now keep flailing about We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong We're the breath you don't catch We're the great expectations You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light Get me out of here Take me away Take me Take me Take me away Take me away Dance on the wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Now you're reaching for the stars You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh Dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change - tonight You will see, the Great Pan in the stars The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near

They were taking small pains To not make him realize Made him feel he's different Through and through A monster in his own way Communicative quarantine Unleashed on the world without a clue Surrounded by the ghosts of paling pictures They come and slip away Vivid memories roll and spin If only they would suck me in We're going up like fire in Just the blink between the dream And the memories and the embers Of what we'd hoped it all would be Breathing odour of lavender And it's all coming back to me Wish I didn't fail to say those Words before you'd have to leave A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves Here I stand and survey What the Father's cast my way A wind got up to bode times of change I close the door behind me Know the day break is too far Me and who I was: Alone, estranged Surrounded by the scent invoking pictures Gone and yet so clear Vivid memories roll and spin If only they would suck me in We're going up like fire in Just the blink between the dream And the memories and the embers Of what we'd hoped it all would be Breathing odour of lavender And it's all coming back to me Wish I didn't have to see now What back then I didn't see A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves The crazy part ain't dreaming, wishing on a falling star It's the world that's in between the cope and you I close my eyes and see a magic world in sepia That cast me out onto a road without a clue We're going up like fire in Just the blink between the dream And the memories and the embers Of what we'd hoped it all would be We're going up like fire in Just the blink between the dream And the memories and the embers Of what we'd hoped it all would be Breathing odour of lavender And it's all coming back to me Wish I didn't fail to say those Words before you'd have to leave A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

What do you see? Is it your own reflection that's staring at you? An out-of-body perception? Or some kind of stranger that laughs at a fool? Is it the world that has changed? Or is it you at the sound of the knell? And how did they fail to prepare you For all that awaits once you're out of your shell? Oh oh Feel the cold breeze in your face Walk on, one way End of days Time to face what it's all about May the waves take you in A long way from home You're out on your own To crave all alone and alone you'll realize What life turns out to be... Future ain't what it used to be When all givens they fall into abeyance Fall into abeyance Let it all wash over me Requiem for a dream How long have we stayed in concealment Chilled to the marrow, crept stealthily? Celestial lights satiating the dark Of deplorable reality Every breath towards what shone with a lustre Horizons that sentineled dreams Now doesn't it even seem crazy To be aghast at what things will not be Oh oh See the rainbow slowly fade Walk on, one way End of days... Time to face what it's all about May the waves take you in A long way from home You're out on your own To crave all alone and alone you'll realize What life turns out to be... Future ain't what it used to be Fall into abeyance Fall into abeyance Let it all wash over me Requiem for a dream There's someone by your side Four steps behind Makes sure you keep the pace And love the grind Time to face what it's all about May the waves take you in A long way from home You're out on your own To crave all alone and alone you'll realize Future ain't what it used to be And all givens they fall into abeyance Fall into abeyance Let it all wash over me Requiem for a dream

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Don't we all keep moving on As we try to spell forevermore I have been searching, where I was told Didn't find myself around the bend Oh I tried to run forever in a lonely charade Back on my way Hot on the trail again Afraid of moving closer to my heart I would always do anything Always tried to believe I can I was burning down inside to play my part Are we meant to feel ok as we stray in someone else's dream ? Burning with honour and pride - for glory and fame The duty of love is not to faint along the way Oh I tried to run forever in a lonely charade Back on my way Hot on the trail again Afraid of moving closer to my heart I would always do anything Always tried to believe I can I was burning down inside to play my part Back on my way Hot on the trail again Afraid of moving closer to my heart Back on my way Hot on the trail again Afraid of moving closer to my heart I would always do anything Always tried to believe I can I was burning down inside to play my part
