I see myself standing beside my bed
bad thoughts are going through my head
over and over, I think of the past
one good memory came to me at last

Every breath feels like a long long time
fading pictures are crossing my mind
I want to live my life again
maybe I will do much better then

I can't feel the pain I think I'm going insane

Heaven, is tomorrow lost to me
forever trapped within the hour glass
rising falling in and out of time
slowly drowning in the sand

I am all alone in this endless dream
everyone is different so it has to be
I feel a cold wind blowing through my soul
heaven is calling so I have to go

I have to free my mind from thoughts that I believed
were right it's very hard to understand that this is a
part of human life

Souls are lost down in the valley of shadows
come meet me where
the crimson sky is bending and we'll
try to reach the new horizon

Give me your soul and I'll give you
life fortune and pleasure
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you
no lies

Keep your eyes upon the sky and
you'll see my vision
you are at the final steps of life

I sender of thoughts bringer of life
I sender of thoughts give you more
than you know

Now take my hand and come with me
don't fear the evil you feel inside
it's there forever
believe me I am the devil in disguise

See the morning sun
open up the sky
and shine its light around
the light is casting shadows and everything
seems so real

In the early morning so many people cry
they cannot stand the pain
the ones who may believe are the ones who cannot feel

And here it comes so why can't you see

The clouds are moving faster
making room for the morning sun
so spread your wings and fly
into the morning sun

The sun is changing colours and we open up our eyes
a new day is growing, it's only here for us
so why can't we fly away

we are growing stronger and with time on our
side we are heading for tomorrow
the light is casting shadows and everything is for real

Waking up the dream I had seemed so real
It took me back in time so far away
I saw a place unknown to me empty spaces with
harmony
enchanting me with shades of light
I can see it shine so bright
To reach the sun the moon the stars
that is the way to find my dream shadows of memories
fade away so I can see the reasons why I live today
the answer is not far away
where is the moon
I will be leaving soon

I have to wake up before I believe
I'm trapped within
the dream that I had is for real and of course
I lived before

This world is nothing new for me
I've walked
those streets before
feels like I am lost in time
with no return

Waking up the dream I had seemed so real
It took me back in time so far away
I saw a place unknown to me empty spaces with
harmony
enchanting me with shades of light
I can see it shine so bright
the reason why I live today
the answer is not far away

Sitting down and waiting for time when
I am gonna leave this world behind
God knows I tried to undo the things I've
done and now I realise I have to pay

If I could explain to everyone how it is
to walk down these empty halls
when you know that your life will end
you can't understand
the fear that you feel so deep inside

I want to live again trying to make things right
beckon the world with different eyes
make it a better life

Now it's the time for me to go down these empty
halls to lay me down and let go of my life
I feel the needle pressing my skin and now it's over

Looking out in nowhere
I see a distant gleam of light
faces I never seen
searching in a dream
candles burning down and the light
is fading out
it's the time of silence that makes
me do things right

I am living in a dream
or is it just what it seams
looking within myself
reaching for my sunset sky
running in endless circles
heading for that fading light
haunting shadows all around
with grewsome hate in mind

They lie they try they will never bring me down
I try I will break this silence

Voices turned to silence
but echoes speak of memories
lying awake and listening
wondering who's there for me
standing naked and alone
is this for real or dreams within dreams
time of silence has come it's up to me to make
things right

Trying to break these chains but then I realise that is is...
inside my mind
I am dealing with my fears but if it's
only in my head
so why am I having this constant fear

Looking into the future I see my life before me
the circle is broken searching for my dream of hope
the starlight from
above chasing shadows away
putting memories behind me
I'm the one who makes things right

Minute by minute I'm undergoing
something that I've got in mind
memories that will be there forever
are coming back right before my eyes

Everything that's inside me are feelings that I feel
I can't trust I can't give
anymore of what's left in me
searching for another day
so I can give and just walk away

I have to let it out to get my life in shape
so that dreams of tomorrow can be real so I can feel

Everything that I had is now lost and gone forever
maybe I did something wrong and now there's
nothing I can do

It's a bridge to the past
built for the dying
for souls that cry

You can never go back
to the life that you had
'cause when you're crossing
the lines far too late

You're looking for shelter
that you never had
you're tumbling around
in a faraway land

Don't trust the stranger
his intentions are bad
he will cause you pain
and make you insane

Nightmares begin as tomorrow
becomes the past
blinded by pictures of hope
painted by strangers in time

You're searching for answers
explaining the pain
it leads to the past
but it's all in vain

Looking for life
in the reaper's blade
slowly you're falling
and your life starts to fade

Darkness is all around
your time is running low
listen to the wicked sound
that rises from below

Demons in your mind
whisper from a forgotten soul
fear of another kind
deep down from the endless soul

There is a secret place for you
darkened mirrors on the wall
burning candles are shining through
while you're walking down these empty halls

Tomorrow is not for you
as the spell is cast
memories are haunting you
as forever becomes the past

Fear in your mind
whispers from an endless hole
demons of another kind
deep down in your soul

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The Gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away
Oh Gates of Babylon

You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The Gates of Babylon

You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A sabre dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The Gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away
Black Gates of Babylon

The Devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon
