In a very visual way of storytelling, the narrator tell both about their dismal life and their envy to return to where they can be themselves: their dreams, that they eagerly await throughout their trapped existence.
[Verse 1]
As the sky turns black
And the earth sleeps in peace
Roaming the clouds
In search of a sacred place
[Verse 2]
Spirits soar higher to a land where they are king
Mortals shells left with you, within shadows they dwell
[Chorus]
Take me far away - deep within the dream
There I can be free from life's misery
[Verse 3]
Blood rushes through my veins, I can feel exhilaration
The freedom of my mind can take me far beyond
[Chorus]
Take me far away - deep within the dream
There clearly seen - life's unreality
[Post-Chorus]
Sanctuary
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Take me far away - deep within the dream
There I can be free from life's misery
[Verse 4]
Each night I await the call of my silent quest
To run through the wind alive in the darkness
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Take me far away - deep within the dream
There clearly seen life's unreality
[Outro]
As the dawn gets closer - to my body I shall return
To live amongst you all, for nightfall I yearn
