Elephant - As Darkness Hits lyrics

rate me

Sleep comes, night falls, the death of another day<br />

No strength to stay awake, the world fades away<br />

And only my dreams can comfort now<br />

Must find the meaning of all this somehow<br />

<br />

Into bed I slowly sink, the promise of it's warmth<br />

A journey yet to undertake in my weary state<br />

And only my dreams can comfort now<br />

Must find the meaning of all this somehow<br />

<br />

On these cold black winter nights, when children play by the graveyard lights<br />

Gypsies ask me what is life and paranoid I quest to find<br />

Far into my dreams I ride beyond the rooms where I used to hide<br />

Six silver gates unto heaven rise, the moon is the only familiar sight<br />

Magnetic fields of auroral light, blue phantasms in nocturnal flight<br />

Aging here is not a threat, above the storm I conquer death<br />

Ascending mountains to the stars, walking the windblown plains of Mars<br />

Barren planets will be revived in the silent universe within the mind<br />

<br />

O how I enjoy the visions my mind manifests<br />

Imagination freely opens when the body rests<br />

<br />

Tomorrow when the sun has set and the stars are lit<br />

Another dream I shall await as darkness hits
