In the sand of a desert that once was a sea
The wind carves a tale for those who want to be
Awakened to a mystery
And far in the reaches of the midnight blue
A flame that connects in the heart of me and you
Now I see we're going to
Somewhere between the dark and light
A doorway opens in for a solitary flight
And then it's round the river bend
Where I saw the glittering cities I know they are there
they radiate in splendour woven in the air
And when I rise into their realm among the stars in the sky
No more to reason why......I know I am alive
See your base metal melt to a beaten gold
And a land we've forgotten will soon unfold
This your vision to behold
So long left in darkness where only a few
Could light up a flare for the infinite view
Now I see we're going through
Somewhere between the dark and light
A doorway opens in for a solitary flight
And then it's round the river bend
Where I saw the glittering cities I know they are there
They radiate in splendour woven in the air
And when I rise into their realm among the stars in the sky
No more to reason why......I know I am alive
Meanwhile back at home it rains
Another brick has hit my window pane
And the sirens won't stop the air is thick and hot
My heart is heavy with memories of pain
Connect me here and now to the flame.....
You see the glittering cities you know they are there
They radiate in splendour woven in the air
And when you rise into their realm among the stars in the sky
No more to reason why......Just know you are alive
The wind carves a tale for those who want to be
Awakened to a mystery
And far in the reaches of the midnight blue
A flame that connects in the heart of me and you
Now I see we're going to
Somewhere between the dark and light
A doorway opens in for a solitary flight
And then it's round the river bend
Where I saw the glittering cities I know they are there
they radiate in splendour woven in the air
And when I rise into their realm among the stars in the sky
No more to reason why......I know I am alive
See your base metal melt to a beaten gold
And a land we've forgotten will soon unfold
This your vision to behold
So long left in darkness where only a few
Could light up a flare for the infinite view
Now I see we're going through
