Adam's Kingdom: The Endless Dream

The Endless Dream

I wonder if we go into our dreams when we die

Every song has its end

And this one has been such a sad lonely tune

Evermore we will live for the grace of our fathers

Destined to hide in their shadows as well

On the footsteps to heaven we will sit and wait

We will sing

The more we breathe in our dust filled days

The more tears drop from mothers' eyes

For their fallen children who collapsed just out of reach

To the blushing faces of lovers early in bloom

To the fleeting golden years and the time of our lives

Till we grow grey too soon with our very last breath in tow

We will fly

In an endless dream we will soar through open skies

Above a kingdom long lost and forgotten

Or wings eclipsing the hallowed halls of past minds

Like silent phantoms we will flee our fears in the night

From dreamer to dreamer we will leap and play in the divine light

Of spirits who will never perish in the realm of sweet dreams

Until the night pulls us back down under the black tide again

We will rise

Perhaps the darkness will last forever...an endless eternity

Or will we ascend once more to face a whole new world

Will we be free from the shackled chains of our bodies

Or will we all be thrown into a bog of forgotten memories

Stirred by the kindled thoughts of a newborn fresh from the womb

With eyes closed, and a face wet...our souls will be released in an instant

By a scream so deafening and joyous that the angels will tremble

I wonder...

Will we live

To face the dawn of a new day

Adam's Kingdom
