Up with the clouds, floating into the ether,
Light in your eyes, light as a falling feather.
Dreaming of love in a fantasy city,
Now lost in the blinding glare of a sun.
Into the stars and inside the galaxies,
A compass of fire outlining palaces.
A piece of the sky, immune to reality,
Cast away, adrift in the dark.
In fathomless lands, steering towards
The part of the heavens that gleam like swords.
The clashing is loud the thunder is crushing the
Sounds that we make colliding together.
Deep in the heart the darkness is shattering,
Sparkling stones, the deep blue is scattering.
Exploding inside, shards fall fluttering.
Grinding the broken mirror to dust.
Ascending the ladder that hangs from the Gods,
Safe from the snapping jaws of the dogs.
That growl from beneath, the black hounds that bite,
Gnawing at heels with dripping mouths.
Escape from the rubble, the wreckage below,
To the pillars of light that softly glow.
From the crumbling towers, to the waning moon,
The harbour shimmers, ships on fire!
Everything pales,
Nothing's the same.
Everything's pale,
Everything's changed.
I've seen inside the terrors and now I can't go back.
I've seen the older terrors, will you come with me?
