Adonais Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He breaks the spell still young and words from
Out this dream of life and leaves us
Sleeping stone rack lying consumed by
Phantom pains and displays of greed

[Verse 2]
He slips from out this shadowland
And pain where heads grow soft and grey
And age destroys all hope
And spirits crush the men and hide away

[Pre-Chorus]
The wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
What death will join
No more let life divide

[Chorus]
"Dream yourself awake," he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me"

[Verse 3]
He breaks the chains so young dispels
The hateful shades of treacherous time
Leaves us sleeping tortured, mute
Devoured by ghosts and dreams of life

[Verse 4]
Slips through ties and dust to be the world
We dream he lives apart
But everything we feel
The young and beautiful and brave of heart

[Pre-Chorus]
The wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
What death will join
No more let life divide

[Chorus]
"Dream yourself awake," he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me"

[Chorus]
"Dream yourself awake," he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me forever"
