I have lived the illusion of wisdom and tasted the joys of love I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path of mystic rites Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun [Chorus:] A celebration of existence The guiding light Vertigoes of tomorrow Embrace the molten night Drink the sweet splendour The wine of youth Vertigoes of yesterday Lie to the truth Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain I lick the wounds of my crucified past Shed the skin of your forgotten self Join me, worship, the verbose deity Repeat chorus Rubicons of rage holler inside me Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2] The wombs of remembrance wither in flames Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2] As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality [solo:Dan] As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
