The red door is standing open As you wake from dreamless sleep Waiting for you like an ocean Endless white and mottled deep You have slept the sleep of ages When you wake you’re all alone And it all comes back in stages To you out here in The Zone
Times of plenty, times of pain Many coats you wore But the folks that bought you the boiling rain Are gathering here once more Through the red door
(Artemis?)
And you’ve tasted all the flavors bitter sweet and in between You were not a willing savior You were innocent and clean Waves of laughter, waves of hope Break on distant shores As you leave behind you the smell and the smoke Of a short and final war Through the red door
(Artemis? Come out and play! Artemis?)
You have slept the sleep of ages (slept the sleep of ages) You have slept the sleep of ages (slept the sleep of ages)
And it all comes to this And it all starts once more There are shapes in the mist Calling you through the red door
(Artemis? Come out and play!)
Through the red door Through the red door Through the red door Through the red door
