(Verse 1)
Come closer and take a look behind the curtain of your sanity
Yes you Sir, for just twopence we will show the miracle of life
Step forward beyond the veil across the borders of reality
Tales unheard of will be told but every detail has its price
(Prechorus 1)
We know every lie still holds some truth
Legends have their roots in history, but we can’t see
And so we decide that we need proof
For every tale and every mystery, we can not believe
(Chorus)
These are the chronicles of a strange mind
Lost and forgotten, all dead and gone
These are the stories of a deranged kind
It is now or never, ‘cause once they’ve begun, we’re lost forever!
(Verse 2)
Do you remember when the earth stood still and Klaatu warned humanity?
The violent temper that broke out when Dr. Jekyll turned to Hyde!
And have you seen how Captain Nemo steered the Nautilus below the sea?
All the sorrow, when just a few survive the day that worlds collide?
(Prechorus 2)
All lies still include a grain of truth
And every truth will hold a mystery that we can’t see
So we decide that we need proof
Imagination tries to set us free, but we won’t believe
(Chorus)
