Beyond the lights of border kings There hangs a gate of mystery You’ve seen it hanging there before Locked tight each night with ivy crawl Listen Child please step inside The forest gate is open wide Behind the leaves the trees unfurl A secret key a hidden door... An old figure standing in your way Dressed in smoke, he begs for you to stay You run, the gate slams, and crumbles into dust Welcome home… to the gardens of the lost Don’t leave the path the whispers scream Don’t leave the path the forest breathes You thought that you wanted to see inside But now there's doubts running through your mind Figures pa**ing through the trees In jesters rags the poet dreams The lights that are leading you from the road
Are fires that are taking you far from home Never-ending Fantasy You’re running in the night Living in a fairy-tale You’re running in the night… again Wished it once, you wished it twice You play the game you pay the price Each step that you take is not your own Now eyes from the path begin to glow Alas poor world I knew it well, Is all bygone to this new hell A wayward nature plays its cruel game You feel so lost you feel ashamed never-ending fantasy You’re running in the night Living in a fairy-tale You’re running in the night Living in a fairy tale of pain Running in the night Fairy-tale of pain Running in the night
