Anubis Gate - A Dream Within A Dream lyrics

[Music: Kim Olesen, Jesper M. Jensen Vocal Melodies: Henrik Fevre, Kim Olesen Lyrics: Henrik Fevre] This is a dream that we share A ball full of thoughts in our minds The night is young The game is on And all else falls way behind It’s so real, this dreamy invention It’s never been like this…. The world is twisted around And we can’t control this creation But it’s never been like this, been like this, been like this, been like this, like this… This is a dream going on Where we can decide what we are and where We may dissolve the ground if we fall And the dream might turn into a nightmare Maybe we grew tired of living on This narrow path that we walked upon And maybe we could build it somewhere A new world made of dreamers It’s so real, this dreamy invention We know but reality’s outdone by far Now we can be who we are Though we can’t control this creation It’s never been like this… There’s a magical current Of belief in the air As we let ourselves in But when we open our eyelids And step into the dream A kind of vision presents itself A man with lonely eyes Glazed from all they’ve seen Worn-down from forced goodbyes So many has-beens Something’s taken hold of my feelings Something’s taken hold of my soul I try to crack a hole in the ceiling But it grows out of hand I’m losing my self-control Why would you leave me? Why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it and now utopia is gone King of the promised land Abundance of luxury With powers to make a stand So handsome I’ll be! This is everything that I dreamed of This is how my life should have been But hidden in the back of this dreamstuff A notion so grim: something is missing Why would you leave me? Why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it Now I’ve been abandoned And why, after all we’ve been through? Utopia was you All the fires in side me Keep on burning my tears When they should have been shed In the midst of a breakdown I’m disturbingly calm Am I living or dead? There’s a place I long to see That resembles home Where the sky is dressed in blue And I am citizen unknown And I wish that you’ll be there Awaiting my return To the simple lives we knew I guess you live and learn My kingdom finally fell Crashed by loneliness The wondrous heaven turned to hell Less is more con more is less But it’s a dream within a dream ‘Cause there’s no way back The sleep and I won’t separate So here I am standing One step from landing in time So I may rectify my crime Tossed through the layers Demolishing chaos The dream is gone Maybe it’s a dream within a dream Maybe things are not what they seem Maybe…
