In My Dreams - Epic

[Fade In Acoustic]

I sit by the fire
The glow on my face
Thoughts
A-wand'ring around

My memories drift
To a far off place I used to be
I wish I could be there now

I miss
The mornings there
When the dew caught the sun

When the Blizzards snowed
And the winds sang in harmony
To my voice

I miss the cloudy rains
The thundering storms
The lightning flashing across the sky

I miss the thousands of miles
Of seldom-walked mountain trails

I miss the sky, blue forever more, more more

Where it ends, so it begins

[Beat, darker tone]

No matter how much I wish that were true

Because the sky was darkened
By the shadows of
WAR

Shadows of WAR
Shadows of WAR
Shadows of WAR

Draw your weapon, brother dear
Can't you see our time is running short
I don't wish to, but I will cut you down

Please, no, don't stand against me
I have no wish of pain against yea
Please, forgive my unsympathy
Time to bring you to your destiny

Will you scream?

Nevermore!

Will you breathe?

Nevermore!

Will you dream?

Nevermore!
Nevermore!
Nevermore!

As the battle against our brethren rages on
The wide expanse of pretty sky fades away
Some look up and cry:
Why?!

I answer you:

The hatred amongst man and men,
Battled waged against there and then
Unpeace from man and beast
Lusters, liars, cheaters
Sinners, harlots, murderers
All here living now is one of these

Their souls are black
Their evil spreads

Look into the eye of the sky;
The physical manifestation of evil
Arrives

Down from the heavens descend the Gods
Judges of all of us
You can't run or hide
From the guilt that's in your veins
The self-deception runs quite deep

[Beat, lighter tone]

Oh, yon ancient lands
How I miss you

The cleansing rains

The singing winds

The lonely nooks

The trickling brooks

[Female Voice]

Oh, mine lover
Where hast thee gone?
I miss you, with all of my heart

The war
It may have taken you away
But I know you aren't there to stay

Find your way back to our glade
Here, then, you'll be safe
Evermore

As you laid down your life
I lay down my own
And so I wait
For your return

[Fade Out]
