I wake to the sound of screaming witches Search for the light Of the child who withered one night Our sister's soul is here We feel her power You were given her light for your life Granting you her flame From the everdream Ignite your destiny We know your story well By spirit and mystery Our sister the sorceress guides our way She was our queen She chose to believe in you A candle in the growing darkness We know not the purpose you keep It's not for us to see The painted lover A bard without his eyes Never found their way out Just follow the sound of our shout Led through a hall to a casket on a wall of ivory I feel a chill again, testing my will yet one more time Move my hand to pull the crown Inside I see a truth A vision of hope tomorrow Stepping through the door A road of bones in view One step closer to an ending There's a boundary to the north My guides cannot ignore The coven of old will go no more I run like never before It's all on me I leave this wicked hall And turn to walk away Toward the land of mazes high In the drifts where creatures lie A blightful blizzard Tries to slow me down Wipe away my eyes Labyrinth entries abound Voices whisper in this maze of ice and ground Telling of a dream again Of ages lost in time A time we once remembered In the stories now untold They cling to life in the everdream Now on fire Everything the same around me Even up above Tell me 'bout the dream again Maybe the words will push me towards you Starting to distrust what's natural Maybe there's no end Maybe it's the dream I see again The voices are calling me, for I am the Messenger What are these voices I am not alone I hear the call of everyone The Messengers And once again I'm on fire, these voices on the wind Spirit aflame as they sing again The passageways appear like harmonies I'm finally out Beyond the mazes Will I pass the monsters below Without seeing their faces Over these frozen Crystal hills I am alive I am on fire, a dream coming true Moving much higher, I'll be there soon I am on fire, whoever you are A nameless receiver, there's a message for you Will I find you in the end I'm coming Cresting a dune of snow with more miles to go What do I see, something dark in the distance before me The greatest sight I've ever seen in my questful life A mountain unreal, hiding skies beyond where the gods kneel All existence is compromised A clash for freedom in its shadow Look for avenues, lanes, or lines Any place to move High on a spire, pieces of light come through Shine through High on the spire, I see a spark of truth And I knew, oh yes I knew I'll be there soon
