The Reverist

Up with the clouds, floating into the ether
Light in your eyes, light as a falling feather
Dreaming of love in a fantasy city
Now lost in the blinding glare of a sun

Into the stars and inside the galaxies
A compass of fire outlining palaces
A piece of the sky, immune to reality
Cast away, adrift in the dark

In fathomless lands, steering towards
The part of the heavens that gleam like swords
The clashing is loud the thunder is crushing
The sounds that we make colliding together

Deep in the heart the darkness is shattering
Sparkling stones, the deep blue is scattering
Exploding inside, shards fall fluttering
Grinding the broken mirror to dust

Ascending the ladder that hangs from the Gods
Safe from the snapping jaws of the dogs
That growl from beneath, the black hounds that bite
Gnawing at heels with dripping mouths

Escape from the rubble, the wreckage below
To the pillars of light that softly glow
From the crumbling towers, to the waning moon
The harbour shimmers, ships on fire
Ships on fire
Ships on fire
Ships on fire

Everything pales
Nothing's the same
Everything's pale
Everything's changed
I've seen inside the terrors and now I can't go back
I've seen the older terrors, will you come with me?
