You Caught Me Dreaming

It feels so unreal
like watching the doom
of a world I've imagined
only to bring to it's ruin

*

And this part that I've played
all to well, so superbly
I cast myself in
now I beg for your mercy
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming
*
I gave it all away
for a chance at redemption
I was a fool to believe
I was hardly worth a mention
*
And now that it's lost
and now that it's gone
I realize it meant nothing
it's not what I wanted at all
*
Now me and The Devil
share a drink, just two friends
he'll never find salvation
and I'll never know your love again
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming...

ETERNITIY'S ENDING

Free to wander now
I'm free
I plot this course
and turn to steal
Away with problems
and destinies
unwanted
or not clear to me
*
Free to scatter every seed
of doubt in flames
with devils dreams
that die with him
and die in me
*
Kings of Earth
no crown have thee
just a soul to search
and a past between
*
From the womb to the worm,
destiny's out of turns
*
and eternity's ending
*
It spills the sun into our sleep
It rains above the open fields
It takes our strength until we're weak
*
(It takes the best of us)
*
It fills the ship through every hole
It burns escape at every door
-takes the journey for us
there's no shore
*
(it takes the best of us)
*
(break/solo)
*
Do you Devil, dream of Death?
No fortune can reward your debt
alone among men, your hunger feeds
you drink, just to spit
not out of need
*
You wished for knowledge
but those who see
are helpless to change
what is fated to be
*
Not the Devil of your dreams?
Yet just the same,
your in the league
*
Kings of Earth
no crown have thee
just a soul to search
and a past between
*
From the womb to the worm,
destiny's out of turns
*
and eternity's ending
*
It spills the sun into our sleep
It rains above the open fields
It takes our strength until we're weak
*
(It takes the best of us)
*
It fills the ship through every hole
It burns escape at every door
-takes the journey for us
there's no shore
*
(it takes the best of us)
*
Do you Devil, dream of Death?

Do you Devil, dream of Death?

Do you Devil, dream of Death?

(repeat to fade)

*

ASHES TO DUST

The sun has come

and departed us,

winds of change

batter us,

-

Along our way

eternal strain,

the pain is gone

yet thoughts remain

-

The darkness has come on,

bid fond farewell,

to the creatures of night,

and mortal Hell

-

We live on,
We give on,
but it's not enough
Banners we stand,
Ashes to dust

-

Voices willl call you,

ignore what you hear,

find shelter in romance,

blanket the ear

-

We're not so young, that we don't understand,

who you are,

and what you command

-

The ministers calling,

no time to pretend,

that fate is not given,

and death is the end

-

We live on,
We give on,
but it's not enough,
Banners we stand,
Ashes to dust

-

Mountain's will crumble,

but it's not enough

-

Banners we stand

.
