Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope? Did you ever realise that time was always on your side? Did you ever dive too deep into the sea of love? Did you ever break the bread? And was the madness only in your head?
And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold And the thoughts that flew so high Feeling fearless feeling bold
Did you ever fly too high on the wings of hope? Did you ever realise that the answers stood before your eyes?
And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold (in times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun) And the thoughts that flew so high Feeling fearless feeling bold (at time when I flew too close to the heart)
We had nights of magic in our eyes Days of thunder rolling by Feeling like we'd never die
And guardian of my soul who carried me when it was cold (in times when I flew too close to the heart of the sun) And the thoughts that flew so high Feeling fearless feeling bold (at time when I flew too close to the heart)
And the demons wake while the mannequin sleeps All the ticking and the tocking of the clock that weeps And the demons wake while the mannequin sleeps And I pray the Lord my soul to keep
The wave of lust as always is the thorn that's in your side The whore of Babylon waiting in a doorway To mug you and your pride Judge jury and executioner all laughing in the face of trust Standing in the dock while the angry faces mock And strip you of all lust All your dreams and illusions now shattered Trampled under foot crawling on the floor in tatters Sentenced passed and destined To wear the sackcloth for the evils of the world
Standing over me the good and bad that go unseen Influence and lull me into false security A cocktail of spiritual alchemy I take the bait so carelessly The all seeing lead the blind the deaf and dumb
Careless and boundary free Picking at the scars of society Off with his head cried those ill at ease The sober and the sane
Forgotten by time itself Washed up too drunk and on the shelf But a thorn in the side of the civilised world The elders and the right
So locked alone in a white padded cell No one can hear you so go ahead and yell Out of sight and out of mind You're just one of the army that fell
Who is it? Who goes there? But how unwelcomes is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise Speaking out in riddles and lashing out with tongues you tell me The truth lies before my eyes
But who is this enemy unseen? The face that hides behind the masquerade? Like the circus marching back into town you tell me You can't see it in the rain You can't taste it in the air you breath you tell me You'll never fly that far again These dreamers have their ways On wide wings they fly away
You can't see it in the wind You can't feel it in the rain In every beat of your heart Every word that's spoken in vain
