Lyrics
As Darkness Hits
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sleep comes, night falls, the death 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 death
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
