Like a swoon of thought, of love and misery, and misery
The rising of an empire, another one falling to the sea
And in this place my vanity knows no boundaries
Can i not stay this way forever lost in dream

To never wake and never be
He who wakes must cease to dream
Cease to dream
Is the nightmare reality
Alas he who wakes must rise
He who wakes must rise and cease to dream

Do the lovers dream of love as the fighters wish only for blood
And the conquerors consumed by the cities they've razed

Is satisfaction the death of desire, than ambition it's birth?
Does it also die when we finally wake, finally wake

To never wake and never be
He who wakes must cease to dream
Cease to dream
Is the nightmare reality
Alas he who wakes must rise
He who wakes must rise and cease to dream

To never wake and never be
And gently fade into obscurity
Condemned to drift on endlessly
And rise again, can you remember me

I will, cease to dream

To never wake and never be
He who wakes must cease to dream
Cease to dream
Is the nightmare reality
Alas he who wakes must rise
He who wakes must rise and cease to dream
