You’ll find it in there sleeping in silence
Drifting far from the conscious balance
Forlorn and love lost if only you’d listen
To be free of the maze it traps you and taunts you
Turning a corner the mirror reflects time
Passing in glimpses
But just for an instant the curtains thus rise
The minstrel commences
Now as it rises emergence from dreams lost
Twisting your faith leave your mind
When the spirits talk
Would you just once cross past a dimension
Where you could not have what they could not mention
The burning affliction dark haunting condition
Sad mortal songs could not deaden the substance
Of one fateful life in which you had loved once
Come hear my song I’m singing it for you
If you’d listen you’d know that it was true
Come take my wings I’m giving them to you
