lyrics

The nightmare continued and I started to catch on,
But my legs were far heavier as I stumbled to find protection.
Eye-lids glued together as watched myself
Projected inside my mind.

Now this world becomes a cinema - displaying the latest show - of a boy armed with only weakness,
Defending from the glowing eyes which lurk in each corner -
Resembles his every fear.
The personified demons of all that robbed him of his dreams.

But then a feather falls down the river Styx.
The Radiance a light he's forgotten.
He looks above his fallen state,
The archangel has come home.

Name me Icarus and lend me your wings,
I beg to return to my world.
Grant me the strength to lift my limbs,
A lucid dream where I'm in control.

I've been trying to escape this,
Desperately trying to escape this.

Each time I awake - sweating and cold -
I'm still in in this place.
As I try once again, the twin takes his form;
The god who has trapped me in this slumber.
With a swift advance, the angel draws and arrow,
Firing into the heart of Hypnos.
I'm given the cue - I try to open my mortal eyes,
The angel defends as Thanatos comes forth.
This is my last chance!
