lyrics

November 1982
Inside a dream I always knew
Revelations in my life
Under a sky of blue
My dreams are fighting for control
No longer feeling my real life
No longer knowing what is real,
Compendium dawns upon my mind

I can’t feel my body anymore
I’ve lost all sense of self-control
Within a waking life I slowly grow
Into another person’s life

Bloody skies
A never-ending nightmare inside
Smoke and fire
I focus on my visions in time
Turbulence
Chaos in motion in the sky
It’s all so fatal
But in the final moments we’re alive

There’s a world of dreams
I try so hard to lose
They’re all separate
But it’s getting hard to choose
The world a victim of
Our own arrogance
Destroyed by our own sheer oblivion
to everything we missed

Can you see them standing tall?
Clutching us within the grip of war?
Can you feel them cast their fear on us?
I can’t take this anymore

I try to hide from the destruction of life
With everything in disarray

Why is this happening?
It happens every night.
New day, same never-ending
nightmare to confront
It’s starting to get to me
I must be losing my mind
I just want to cut it loose
and leave it all behind
As the line begins to blur the tape is running down
And everything confuses me again
What’s the meaning of it all?
And will I ever know the truth or how it ends?

I try to hide from the destruction of life
With everything in disarray
As the city falls, I watch from down below
As darkness falls on another day
