The Apparition

When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world up tight
Out of your mind

The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back
Deep the bowels of this black abyss
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me

Take me away, take me away
I don't wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Drawing near someone passes through me
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare
Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone
I feared I travel not alone

Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me

Take me away, take me away
I don't wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

A voice of thunder said turn back
The Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here
I want to know

Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water, physical fire
Above the center is sky, cold, cold neverness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars

In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be

In the first is a young boy white dove in his hand
In the second is a warrior in armor
In the third is an old man gold watch in his hand
Fourth and last, no reflection at all
No reflection at all, no reflection at all

Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness, yes, I'll remain

White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out

Take me away, take me away
I don't wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Take me away, take me away
I don't wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
