The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

For too long now I've been

Adrift in this ocean that washed over me

Diluting the secrets that you had to keep

From the world that's been...

...spinning around you, with and without you

Sedating, unkind

Show you the way

Deliver and faint!

Relish to stand in line!

Oh

I guess you'll find no one to blame

We're tied to the rules of someone else's game

Try to fly, flap your wings

As you look to the night sky

A gilded cage in the twilight

You dance on a wire

See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

Oh, dance on the wire

To the breeze that carries change

Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars

The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear

Oh

For quite a while I have been

The one that I thought I was happy to be

Masquerade, at least a shadow play

No one's gonna see...

...behind the fascade, those rallying calls

You're afraid to awake

Look at the sky, you can't defy

The dark that is calling your name

You're blind by the beauty around

You're numb by the touch

And you're deaf to the sound

Of the sweet-smelling

Bright melody of the moonlight

That devours the bars in the twilight

You dance on a wire

See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

Dance on the wire

To the breeze that carries change tonight

You will see the Great Pan in the stars

The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear

Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting

Too much to fathom, until it unfolds

Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing

King of the wave, now keep flailing about

We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world

We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across

Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing

Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong

We're the breath you don't catch

We're the great expectations

You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side

We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation

We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

Get me out of here

Take me away

Take me

Take me

Take me away

Take me away

Dance on the wire

See the piper at the gates of dawn

Now you're reaching for the stars

You dance on a wire

See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

Dance on the wire

To the breeze that carries change - tonight

You will see, the Great Pan in the stars

The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near
