The Strength to Dream

A dreary winter's night, rain dismally falls Its maddening rhythm pounds again the outside wall The freezing winds accompany with their nightmare melodies While here in my laboratory my work is complete My hands are numb with cold, my body is weak But months of toil and love for her kept driving me Beyond the windowpane, there lies a world Which lost forever the most beautiful girl Madness and obsession, the weight of despair Just the beauty of the dream has kept me from death I need her back so much, I long for those times But I will grieve no more, I'll give her life Raise up your pretty head, open your eyes Speak to me sweet angel, please come alive Please come alive And then her eyes are filled with life With precious care I run my fingers through her open hair Remember me, speak thy name Do you feel my cold hand touch your face? Please give your love for me again Love me again In the damning light her arms surround me Fighting for a breath as emotion drowns me Wonder, love and fear; they fill me As she whispers in my ear: Please kill me...

When I am alone the anguish begins Opening scars that never heal Torturing myself with visions of you and wishing that I could be there. People have told me it's time to move on - how can I move on when I still feel you? Doorways keep calling me to be free But I choose to follow my heart. I try to find refuge in my ancient dreams I clutch them yet know that they cannot be real Living on memories and hopeless ideals Stuck in the web of my past And though I feel that this is wrong, I'm watching the world move sadly by And though I'd like to move along, I don't want to live the lie. If somehow you ever change the way you are feeling Could I take it? Your flame still flickers in the dark of life.

I think about My dreams destroying me The pain that still will come And all that will not be And I think about The past more and more Regretting words I said Wishing I said more As I search for these words I'm exhuming all the pain I'm trying to explain I'm trying to explain

I just can't let it happen I can't let it fall away But my heart keeps on saying that there isn't any way Apprehension overshadows hope of my sole desire I look at you and ask myself "How can you feel the same as I?" One day it will be too late forever As I leave each day behind I'm haunted by words unspoken I've so much to give, more than you'll ever find I have to find within myself courage to let you know And as I dream of all that could happen I let depression take control I love you.

Lately I feel I'm going under, And sometimes I don't want to see tomorrow. All I need is to hold the dream, just to touch the dream, Can it ever happen? Oh, your true sincerity, your kindness, means so much to me; But sometimes it feels like nothing is real except this pain and dark uncertainty. Lately I've been feeling more like giving it all away; There's been a black cloud over me and now I feel the rain. My dreams never seem to lead me to the open road; And cracks have slowly begun to show in the bridge from here to my only goal. In the ebb of my mind I try to climb the tower of strength What can fill this cold empty void of what I fear will never be? I find that I follow pathways that lead me nowhere. The truth is I am chained to my ideals, and I can't change it; But something in me yearns to win; I know real love is there to find us. If I ever stop believing I'll always find the strength to dream. But for now depression smiles down upon me; Oh, what I would give to know you. A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon!
