Within or Without

(Lyrics: Johansson Music: Johansson, Nicosia)<br/> <br/> Do you remember me<br/> I’m always there when you sleep<br/> I am the one that you see<br/> When your day becomes dream<br/> <br/> I am hiding in the shadows<br/> I’m lurking in the dark<br/> I am the one that you feel<br/> When you enter the world within<br/> <br/> A world like yours but oh so cold<br/> An oath to follow in this garden foretold<br/> In here everything seems so old<br/> And there by the end of the rainbow<br/> it all shimmers like gold<br/> <br/> Do you wish your morning came<br/> Or do you want it to stay the same<br/> Would you like to leave this place<br/> Or rather disappear without a trace<br/> <br/> Solo: Johansson<br/> <br/> And when your walls start to move<br/> you are screaming in vain<br/> Your world spinning around<br/> you are returning again<br/> <br/> Come and visit my home<br/> I’m sure you’ll find the way<br/> To where darkness begins<br/> Once here, forever you’ll stay<br/> <br/> Solo: Nicosia<br/> <br/> A choir of angels welcome you home<br/> The riddle is gone to where you belong<br/> <br/> Solo: Johansson<br/> <br/> And when your walls start to move<br/> you are screaming in vain<br/> Your world spinning around<br/> you are returning again<br/> <br/> A shiver runs down your spine<br/> Fingers cold comes from behind<br/> Is this what you will feel<br/> When your day becomes dream<br/> <br/> A world like yours but oh so cold<br/> An oath to follow in this garden foretold<br/> In here everything seems so old<br/> And there by the end of the rainbow<br/> it all shimmer like gold<br/> <br/> Do you wish your morning came<br/> Or do you want it to stay the same<br/> Would you like to leave this place<br/> Or rather stay within<br/> and disappear without a trace

(Lyrics &amp; Music: Johansson)<br/> <br/> Here I am trapped, concealed away from reality<br/> The dreams that I've dreamt and the years that I've spent<br/> I'm no longer free, I'm not me<br/> <br/> The river of lust<br/> <br/> They come with mourning eyes, see them come changing form<br/> Their shadows are left behind no one can see, oh not me<br/> <br/> The river of lust<br/> <br/> Lead me to the secret, the river of lust<br/> Lead me to the vision, the one I was sent<br/> <br/> In this realm that I'm kept they tie my fear so close to me<br/> Yesterday seems far away in here I'm lost will always stay<br/> <br/> The river of lust<br/> <br/> Lead me to the secret, the river of lust<br/> Lead me to the vision, the one they was sent
