Dream Gone Wrong

I welcome you
Welcome to the night
Welcome to the dream gone wrong

Take my hand
I'll lead you on
I'll take you to your destiny

Dreams are never what they seem, you won't know just what they mean
They're never true
Take my hand, you mustn't stay, let me guide you far away
There's nothing you could lose

Fly with me
Spread your wings and rise
We'll soar towards the endless sun

See it shine
See it beckon mortal men
It's promising eternal life

Count them as we're breaking out, the stars are falling all about
Is this a dream?
Spinning faster, don't give in, this is a race you have to win
Look for that golden gleam

"I loathe this life violently, I'm caged inside
Cruel gods, not mine
The dagger's yours, stab heart and mind
And call the pain pure lust sublime
And though I sighed so many times
You grant no sign of grace divine"

I'll let you go
You're headed for the night
One more deceitful dream gone wrong

No helpful hand
I've pushed you on
It is I, your destiny

I your future and demise, se'en-crowned king of nightly skies
This is no dream
Far too many falling stars, souls of mortal men they are
And as they fall they scream:

"I praise this life as dreams unfold inside
Pain and anger lie defied
Sweet God above, I pray be mine
Invite me int' thy great design
And though I sighed so many times
Thou'rt by my side, and I'll be thine"
