Darkness ascends to touch the dreamers weary eyes
Take him to the land where time stops as it lies
Wonder filled with mystery of chaos taking form
Hid inside the hatter's mind to take shelter from the storm
The valley echoes laughter with sinister intent
And those who burn with us scream as they repent
The angel's wings are shedding and the demons hang their heads
For they've seen the lovers footprints and their mighty hearts soft treads
And opening our eyes we gather up the mist
And think too much of all the times, perhaps, we should have kissed
The rainbows form a V to show even they have changed
Colors from brilliant beautiful to demented and deranged
Now endless wnadering onward in a world of our demise
We pray the dreamer stays asleep and dreams of brighter skies
