Elephant - As Darkness Hits lyrics

Sleep comes, night falls, the d**h of another day No strength to stay awake, the world fades away And only my dreams can comfort now Must find the meaning of all this somehow Into bed I slowly sink, the promise of its warmth A journey yet to undertake in my weary state And only my dreams can comfort now Must find the meaning of all this somehow On these cold black winter nights, when children play by the graveyard lights Gypsies ask me what is life and paranoid I quest to find Far into my dreams I ride beyond the rooms where I used to hide Six silver gates unto heaven rise, the moon is the only familiar sight Magnetic fields of auroral light, blue phantasms in nocturnal flight Aging here is not a threat, above the storm I conquer d**h Ascending mountains to the stars, walking the windblown plains of Mars Barren planets will be revived in the silent universe within the mind O how I enjoy the visions my mind manifests Imagination freely opens when the body rests Tomorrow when the sun has set and the stars are lit Another dream I shall await as darkness hits
