Quietus Demo - Fates Warning
From sleeping visions
Daily were torn
In waking hours
Hopes our for lorn
Is all we do and all we dream
Doomed to drown
In a hopeless stream
Wishing life were made
Of lasting visions
In eternal sleep
And if that rest
Were filled with sorrow
Still we'd sleep
In the madness of a silent eternity
We'd find solace in
False visions that
Protect us
From reality
Enter ivory gates through midnight skies
Daylight dreamers in private parades
Perform before perpetual dawn
As dusk engulfs the gate of horn
Ivory towers appear beyond the gate
Invisible fortresses of escape
Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears
Impervious to reality
