The Whispering Gallery

And here I came last night was it a waking dream in me?
The spiral staircase led to places so unknown
And out of a clear sky falling I'm searching high and low for hold
Right on the brink of ruin

If I could hear your calls reflected to the nines
Revealing precious memories
The whispering gallery the place of mystery
In echoes from a silent sea

And there the shadows danced before I heard the clarion call
In their centennial desperation I won't fall
Shaken to their foundations a mere ghost of their former selves
Well nigh they've gone to glory

If I could hear your calls reflected to the nines
Revealing precious memories
The whispering gallery the place of mystery
In echoes from a silent sea

There's a sign in constant glory will it be my guiding star?
In the float bridge to forever I can go on so far
This alluring Jack o' lantern and the relics of the past
Leading on to your decay the pendulum swings so fast

On the gateway to your mind
On the flare path of your magnificent prettifying dreams
It's the touchstone of mankind
It's the only truth to find

If I could hear your calls reflected to the nines
Revealing precious memories
The whispering gallery the place of mystery
In echoes from a silent sea
