wake

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The compass spins on a silver plate
In a house of stone with no outer gate
I walk a hallway of a thousand doors
Tracing my shadow on the marble floors
Is this the dream or the dreamer’s face?
Lost in the map of a hollow place.
(Chorus)
The mirror remembers what the eye forgets
A sun that rises while the spirit sets
Infinite pages in a book of sand
Holding the desert in a steady hand
Time is a river, or a tiger’s breath
A second of life in a circle of death.
(Verse 2)
The library breathes in a quiet hum
Waiting for voices that never come
I found the point where the world begins
In a basement corner where the spider spins
One single moment where all things meet
The roar of the stars and the dust on the street.
(Bridge)
The king is a pawn in a game of bone
The sword is a memory carved in stone
Forget the name and forget the day
The ink is dry but it drifts away.
(Chorus)
The mirror remembers what the eye forgets
A sun that rises while the spirit sets
Infinite pages in a book of sand
Holding the desert in a steady hand
Time is a river, or a tiger’s breath
A second of life in a circle of death.
(Outro)
Behind the wall, another wall stays
Lost in the center of the golden maze
Just a shadow, just a ghost of a theme
Waking up slowly inside of a dream.
