Dominici - The Dream lyrics

rate me

I had the dream last evening<br />

The Elders all were there<br />

Cloaked in hooded garments<br />

Electricity in their hair<br />

They carried water candles<br />

That flickered cobalt blue<br />

And bedroom eyes could not disguise<br />

The evil they would do<br />

While looming in the distance<br />

The silhouetted hills<br />

Were hosting all the victims<br />

And counting up the kills<br />

<br />

The sunset streaked a vapor trail<br />

Upon a water color sky<br />

The night folded it's wings around me<br />

As I discovered I could fly<br />

I soared above the houses<br />

Through cotton candy skies<br />

The frightened children watching<br />

My image passed across their eyes<br />

While screaming in their bedrooms<br />

The women loved their pain<br />

I lost my grip on heaven<br />

And fell to earth again<br />

<br />

The smell of fear engulfed me<br />

It came down from on high<br />

Although I tried to run away<br />

My legs would not comply<br />

I felt upon my shoulder<br />

A bony lifeless hand<br />

It churned a chill inside me<br />

And made me understand<br />

"Ignorance hides in the darkest places<br />

And feeds it's poison to it's young<br />

You'll wipe them from existence<br />

You are the chosen one"<br />

<br />

Somehow I escaped him<br />

And headed for the sea<br />

Across a field of broken mirrors<br />

Reflecting everything but me<br />

I walked across the water<br />

And came upon a boat<br />

Where Moses and Picasso<br />

Were trying to stay afloat<br />

One was painting flowers<br />

The other skipping stones<br />

When I asked them to explain<br />

They cried, "Leave us alone!"<br />

<br />

I hitchhiked back to Ixtlan<br />

That painter stole my van<br />

The locals in Atlantis<br />

Were all working on their tan<br />

And when I tried to warn them<br />

My teeth fell from my mouth<br />

A Snowstorm was approaching<br />

So I headed south<br />

The crowd had just descended<br />

On the beach at Normandy<br />

Where Hitler joined Queen Mary<br />

To have a spot of tea<br />

<br />

Now all of this confusion<br />

Made perfect sense to me<br />

It was a revelation<br />

A truth I had to see<br />

The Painter and the Prophet<br />

Got married later on<br />

And took their honeymoon<br />

On the shores of Balaton<br />

The water from the candles<br />

Turned the Ocean cobalt blue<br />

The burnt electric air<br />

Gave my lungs a death tattoo
