“Essentially this is about a place you want to be to escape the reality of life …. A place you drift in and out of … A place you can not stay …. A place that comforts you but also scares you. … A place that haunts you. …. A dream ….. BUT dreams are un controllable … you can’t MAKE them …. So do you...
[Verse 1]
Across the desert of the burning dark
A darkness which illuminates you
There's a place you've always wanted to be
Whose pleasures always did escape you
It's always been so out of reach
Nothing so near ever felt so far, uh huh
And now it's here within your grasp
A never-ending burning says it all
[Pre-Chorus]
As you drive into the darkness
In front the future, behind you history, oh
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
You don't believe your eyes
'Cause all you see is lies, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
You better run from the holy man
The eyes that will are set upon you
Listen not to verse and prayer
Songs that thrill and voices tempt you, uh huh
The inner flame has fear of death
Never has light ever seemed so dark
Pilgrims of sabbocracy
Hear the hounds of heaven as they bark
[Pre-Chorus]
As you drive into the darkness
In front the future, behind you history, oh
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
You don't believe your eyes
'Cause all they see is lies
[Chorus]
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness, the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
As you drive into the darkness
In front the future, behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
You don't believe your eyes
And all you see is lies, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness, the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness, the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream
Whoa, just a dream
