In the shadow of high walls where twilight coldly reigns
A man gazed past the smoky towers that bound him in their chains
Through windows dull with sorrow to skies of fading light
He called the stars by secret names to guide him through the night
They whispered through the silence where mortal eyes can't see
To realms of fire and violet tides beyond eternity
Through gilded streams of opiate seas the dreamer's soul did roam
To shores of green and fragrant winds where lost dreams found their home
The stars aligned the veil grew thin the gulf of worlds gave way
A stream of light through endless night tore walls of stone and clay
Perfumed oceans bore him forth on tides of golden mist
To touch the edge of cosmos' breath and feel the void's cold kiss
They whispered through the silence where mortal eyes can't see
To realms of fire and violet tides beyond eternity
Through gilded streams of opiate seas the dreamer's soul did roam
To shores of green and fragrant winds where lost dreams found their home
Through vortices of dust and flame through nymphs of unknown seas
The man was lost to mortal life on endless cosmic breeze
For days not counted in men's time he drifted through the spheres
Where oceans sing of ageless things and moons dissolve to tears
They whispered through the silence where mortal eyes can't see
To realms of fire and violet tides beyond eternity
Through gilded streams of opiate seas the dreamer's soul did roam
To shores of green and fragrant winds where lost dreams found their home
