Fates Warning
Quietus
From sleeping visionsDaily were tornIn waking hoursHopes our forlorn.Is all we do and all we dreamDoomed to drown in a hopeless stream?Wishing life were made of lasting visionsIn eternal sleepAnd if that rest were filled with sorrowStill we'd sleep.In the madness of a silent eternityWe'd find solace inFalse visions that protect usFrom reality.Enter ivory gates through midnight skiesDaylight dreamers in private paradesPerform before perpetual dawnAs dusk engulfs the gate of horn.Ivory towers appear beyond the gateInvisible fortresses of escapeTraversed by ramparts made of hopes and fearsImpervious to reality.
