I’m finding it hard to sleep, Knowing what going on under my feet Keeping quiet in secrecy Until the heralds call for me So into the darkness we lead To the gallows of wool-gathered dreams Into the darkness we lead Beyond the pillars of obscurity Do we hide behind the comfort of a lie? Are we the same, you and I? When we’re lying naked in the night So into the darkness we lead To the gallows of wool-gathered dreams Into the darkness we lead Beyond the pillars of obscurity Light the flame and look to the Tower of Dreams! No surface dwellers can see the things that I can see No mercy for the sound of mind We’ll find the blind and gouge out their eyes So they can see what lies behind The darkness of their eyes, thin fabric veiled lies With their vacant gazes, absent minds No one’s looking for the pleasures that we hide Inside our fortress on high We’re casting pearls to the swine As they feed amongst the troughs with the flies Smoke and mirrors in the night, Clouded judgment, doubt in my eyes I’ve lost what I’m trying to find A hidden key, lost memory Forgotten past, or distant dream I only see what I’m wanted to see By the Tower of Dreams They’re calling me Seven sounds, seven trumpets One-by-One To a distant star Mount the steed and ride forth into the dark This Tower of Dreams will see you lost amongst the stars No mercy for the sound of mind We’ll find the blind and gouge out their eyes So they can see what lies behind… …a man out of time
