Immortal Dreamer

from The Man With 9 Brains by BAAN

/

lyrics

Chill fingers taste sensation
On harsh granite, bled and torn.
From shuddering fear and guilt
Your consciousness is borne
On wings of desperation,
Escape's imagined flight,
Yet gallows wait on dawn's approach
And death comes with the light.

Immortal dreamer overcome the world
Immortal dreamer!

Sun-blind, you gasp in terror,
And silent screams the pain.
The hellish kiss of rope on flesh,
At last - you break - insane.
Some subtle, sudden turn,
A crucial shifting wheel,
The balance of the mind has swung,
Death is no longer real.
Immortal dreamer overcome the world.
Like sparkling gems against the stars
His mind is hurled.

Awake the echo lingers
Of the nightmare's clutching fear.
In sweat-damp sheets you breathe relief.
Death seemed so real, so near.

Immortal dreamer overcome the world.
Like sparkling gems against the stars
His mind is hurled.

And now you name it - Dream,
And name it in mistake,
For death alone brought freedom,
To die is to awake…
