To The Suffering LyricsLyrics from The Dreamer"The Sleeper"Motionless The Sleeper liesAll alone and lost inside Only dreams can hear her cries In shadows she confides Drifting in unwaking sleep Behind her eyes the tears unseen And while she fades away The Dreamer lies awake What dreams exist inside your mind What dreams were left, left behind What comfort do your thoughts provide Please open up your eyes "The Dreamer"Sleep comes slow for a troubled mindI lie awake with open eyes Eagerly I wait for rest To find the life that I repress In the dark my memories wait In the dark my fears hide In this world that I create Sanity and thoughts collide We dream in missing time Hidden behind our weary eyes Recollect our absent lives To forget when dawn arrives Inside my mind the vagrants stay Within my dreams the dead survive Forgotten dreams that no one saves Keep the memories alive Sleep comes slow for a troubled mind What has become of my life Haunted within my dreams Lost in the night when all hope leaves In the dark The Sleeper waits In the dark her spirit lies Does God control our fate Or is it time when we decide "Lucid"A path in dreamsWinds through my mind Into the dark void Where the lost ghosts hide From beyond I hear them call Crying for the end The doors await us all To take us home again Across the threshold Into the empty black It all seems so empty It feels abstract Somewhere in the dark I can hear her cries Lost and all alone Searching for her home "Wait for Me"A girl stands stillFreezing in the pouring rain A shadow in the evening light Her eyes froze still Emotionless they pierce me A cry for help lost in the night Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me I’ll comfort you I’ll be there when you sleep Dry tears force out No one to hear silent cries Alone she stands without her love A swan without Anyone to care for her Alone and scared a dying dove Calmly she cries No one can see her sad eyes Desperately she looks to the sky The girl stands still Freezing in the pouring rain Her shadow fades into the night "Awake"It’s cold in hereDo you feel the end is near A lifetime of dreams to share Lost to nowhere Awake...I left you there alone Awake...Trapped within my dreams Awake...Forever fast asleep Awake...I wish you would come home Alone in despair I promised to be there But in sleep so severe You will disappear Unknown brings fear Burning in your frightened stare Hear the voice that calls you here Enter nowhere "Farewell"Here I stand beside the doorThat is forever closed A symbol of the hope that died That lies with her Like every dream Every dream I’ve ever known She fades away I will say farewell Her scent strays listless on the air Wind will set her free On her grave a rose I’ll lay In her memory Forever The Sleeper dreams While The Dreamer lies awake Staring in disbelief At her peaceful face |
