lyrics

Temple filled with sorrow
Hours seem so hollow
Trails of dreams I follow
Is this right?
Tales so long forgotten
Thoughts that come more often
Doors are widely open
Holy sign, holy crime, bloodline…

Time flies so quickly
I’m inside that deeply
No more grains of sand
A toy in master’s hand
Seeking for the answer
This quest became my cancer
Is this right or wrong?
The side I feel that I belong

Ages erased
Clocks tick their time
No more to see now
Except from my dark criminal mind

Dreamshade
Path of light or darkness
Prepare
The battle just begun to steal the light
Shame
A choice for hope or sadness
I know it’s myself I still fight

Thoughts inside I’m hiding
Conspiracy in mind
Straight to the conclusion
A theater of delusion
Tomorrow or today
Can’t see what price I’ll pay
The answer is so near
Is this my holy darkest fear?

A shot from a gun
My body just fell
Nothing to feel, yet
I’m trapped in between… heaven and hell

Dreamshade
Path of light or darkness
Prepare
The battle just begun to steal the light
Shame
A choice for hope or sadness
I know it’s myself I still fight

“A gentle sound, an awful light
Three angels bear the holy Grail
With folded feet, in stoles of white
On sleeping wings they sail

And, stricken by an angel's hand
This mortal armor that I wear
This weight and size, this heart and eyes
Are touched, are turned to finest air

So pass I hostel, hall and grange
By bridge and ford, by park and pale
All armed I ride, whate'er betide
Until I find the holy Grail”

Dreamshade
Path of light or darkness
Prepare
The battle just begun to steal the light
Shame
A choice for hope or sadness
I know it’s myself I still fight

See the angels, see the demons
Fighting for my soul
Break the silence, see the reasons
Quest is over, that’s my way back... home
