Revelation - Long After Midnight lyrics

rate me

[Words: John Brenner]

Frozen in a state of non-existence

This moment of pain is an eternity

A second stretched out into forever

Shakes the very frame of my soul

An eon of the present is the penance of hell

Time slowly ticks away the centuries

Another second passes, a foolish respite

Because those to come are infinity

Long after midnight, I build castles in the air

I touch and I feel them in my heart

Why can't they be real?

Everyone watches, but no one is near

All seem to listen, but few really hear

The silence is deep, yet in an uproar

And there's no escape, for they've locked the door

Long after midnight, immortality seems so true

I dream of a better time to come

For me and also for you

The battle is over but the war is not won

The evil's chasing me and I cannot run

All around me ideals are rotting away

But I cannot ever give up the fight
