Chimera

[Verse 1]
As the wind begins to wail just before the storm
It’s becoming clearer to me now
And all around me I can hear the waves
Revealing shores finally found

[Verse 2]
Seabreeze whispers of fortunes to behold
Clandestine port of ages
Past the gates lay the memories of kings
With all that I have dreamt locked inside

[Refrain]
A lifetime spent waiting
An end to my searching

[Verse 3]
The winding chambers lead the way below
And into the arms of my fate
I reach a reward that was never there
And watch it shift into my worst fear

[Pre-Chorus]
Nightmare made real
Hubris now named fear

[Chorus]
Dreams fade with an elusive mirage
That twists and turns before my eyes
A horror that I can’t escape disguised
As my one desire

[Bridge]
Into the belly of the beast
With fleeting hope, my only friend
One final glance into the void
And the Chimera grins

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Dreams fade with an elusive mirage
That twists and turns before my eyes
A horror that I can’t escape disguised
As my last desire
