Requiem for a Dream

So sound asleep we walk in dreams

We make believe reality

Going 'round and 'round

Can't touch the ground

This world is lost, too blind to see

Inside our minds we search to find

The world we leave so far behind

So paralysed, can't run, can't hide

Relive each moment, lost in time

I'm searching in my mind

Walking in my dream

I'm searching in my mind

Walking in my dream

This fantasy is calling me

A mystery that holds the key

I close my eyes so I can see

So dark is this, my destiny

I search to find the light that shines

So deep inside my burning mind

A purity transforming me

The circle of infinity

I'm searching in my mind

Walking in my dream

I'm searching in my mind

Walking in my dream

Tell me why this broken lie is holding onto me

It's haunting me

I realise that there's nothing in my heart to see

Finally, this distant dream has taken over me

I'm lost at sea

I realise, I'm chasing shadows and they disappear

They are watching

The truth they still deny, all the lies, oh-oh-oh

So fragile in our hands

A child can understand, out of time

From the darkness hear their cries

The promise dies, stolen lives

Tell me why, when we all know

The sands of time are drifting by

Hear all our voices

A yearning soul

Where are the answers

The lies they told

Our crimes of glory

Our guilt will last

Our dying story

Our futures past

In this moment we are falling

Open hands are reaching out

Find the footsteps in our story

It's a journey we all know

Through our eyes

No longer paradise

Tempted by desire

Dreams to dust

Hide away our fear

Too late to cry a tear

A lonely planet hurting

The price we pay for yesterday

So fragile in our hands

And though the sun is rising

A darkness grows around us now

The light is fading fast and we know, oh-oh-oh-oh

The price we pay for yesterday

So fragile in our hands

And though the sun is rising

A darkness grows around us now

The light is fading fast and we know

We have the gift of living

We have a second chance

This is a new beginning

It's in our hands

We have the gift of living

We have a second chance

This is a new beginning

It's in our hands

In this moment we must end this dark romance

In this moment we are Lords of our own dance

We hold our breath and pray

In silence we obey

Beginning of the end

A requiem for a dream

So in the shadows we fall, all alone, all alone

All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

(Are we dreaming)

And will we see rivers flowing

'Cause I can't breathe

'Cause I can't see

But I can lie to myself

That it's not real

Just a dream

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

A second chance to breathe again

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

A second chance to breathe again

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

A second chance to breathe again

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

A second chance to breathe again

So we keep dancing in the rain

Still blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

A second chance to breathe again

So we keep dancing in the rain

So blinded by the storms that rage

So we keep dancing in the rain

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
