1. King Of Silver
2. The Dreamscape (I. The Awakening)
3. The Dreamscape (II. Into The City Of Dreams/III. On The Verge Of The Waking World/IV. Open The Gate...)
4. The Dreamscape (V. Farewell Good Bye)







1. King Of Silver

And the man he used to drink the water,
and the water made him live,
For the water loved the man,
and the man he used to praise the water.

And the man he used to breathe the air,
and the air made him live,
For the air loved the man,
and the man used to praise the air.

And the man he used to see the light,
and the sun made him live,
For the sun loved the man,
and the man used to praise the sun.

And the man he used to eat the fruit,
and the earth made him live,
For the earth loved the man,
and the man used to praise the earth.

There came the King, all dressed in silver,
He shouted " Praise me, for I am God ",
but he knew he wasn't.
And God used to hate him,
the man used to worship the King,
And set about forgetting God, the water, the air, the sun, and the earth.

" Here I am, I'm the man, I fear nothing,
For my King shelters me, and I live. "

But God was sad, shedding tears,
so the water of the sea said to the wind Who was caressing her:
" Let us see the sun, we have to help God "
So the sun said to the earth, his sister
" God's grieved, we must avenge him. "

" Here I am, I'm the man, I fear nothing,
For my King shelters me, and I live. "

The King of silver ate and laughed,
for he knew that the man could not dispense with him.
The thousand servants of his palace were blind and deaf to the call of the earth.
" I can live without you " said one of them,
" I don't need your light, here is the feast " said another,
And he started to dance...

...and the earth felt helpless...

" Here I am, I'm the man, I fear nothing,
For my King shelters me, and I live.

God saw how sad the earth was, and said :
"Shake your back, for it's all black and blue "
Then the wind, shook the mountains,
And the water of the sea overflowed into the palace,
And the sun cauterised the King of silver...

But the man was sad,
So the earth said
"I am here and I love you"
And the man opened his eyes
and saw the daylight,
And the man gazed at the sun
Bathed in its splendour
Breathed the air,
drank the water,
and cherished the earth...




2. The Dreamscape (I. The Awakening)

A dim light starts glowing before my eyes,
Distant sounds of weary chatter come flowing into my ears,
A hospital smell soon tickles my nostrils
as The feel of soft sheets
now strokes my fingertips:

I am here, I am now, back to reality...

How I got here, I do not know,
as I start to realise where I am,
and My blurred mind tries to make sense
From this dim information flow... such unending flow.

Elusive sounds and images start spinning through my head
As the recollection starts and the memories get deeper;
A vivid pain shakes my body as I realise what I've been through.
I can now feel the damage done,
The scars so deep, my body so numb...
But the horror comes from my bandaged head,
And I once more elapse into my weary dreams...

Into the City of Dreams

Have you ever walked the streets of the city of dreams ?
Have you ever met its evanescent people ?
Have you ever tried to speak their tongue ?
Have you ever tried to understand ?
Have you ever tried to make them feel ?
Have you ever tried to let them know ?

Walk the streets and you will see how empty their hearts can be,
Meet their gaze and you will know how empty their eyes still are...

Going nowhere, seeing no-one,
They're wandering like the un-dead,
They're the ghastly people in the ghost-city.

Walk the streets and you will see how empty their hearts can be,
Meet their gaze and you will know how empty their eyes still are...

On the verge of the waking world.


Strange dreams of this unknown world people my sleep:
A purple sky over blue - lit mountains,
and shapeless buildings beyond grassy valleys,
And blemish people staring at me, undaring, as if afraid to meet my gaze.

But when the terror overwhelms me,
I soon wake up in my hospital bed,
Dizzied by those strange visions
of a dreamy voyage to a distant world ..."

4. The Dreamscape (V. Farewell Good Bye)

When was the last time I felt the green grass under my feet ?
When was the last time I saw the blue sky over my head ?
When was the last time I heard the birds sing on the tree-tops ?

When was the last time, the last time I really felt at home ?
But I still don't see with their eyes,
And I still don't feel as they do (bis) ... Farewell, goodbye...

Farewell, good-bye to the life and friends I left behind,
Long years gone by, Good-bye, blue sky...

And I still don't hear the music in bird-songs,
And I still don't belong in this place,
And I long for the places I once called home,
And I long for the places I called home.

Promises - unkept, lured into acceptance
By a mind too willing: daydreaming - wishful thinking.

How strange it feels,
To think I once wished to belong here,
What a fool I was,
To think I could be whole in here.
The promise - so sweet,
The excitement of tasting something new.
One step too far,
A leap from the strange to the alien.
Two steps too far,
And you reach the point of no return.

And I cry,and I weep, and I long, and I wish
