Life, is forever in this world of light

Beyond the veil of time and space.

Here I hide from the shadows



Nothing here can hurt me

I feel stronger now

I was revived at the gate

No more tears and no more pain

Here in the empire of my mind.



I can hear the spirits calling

They say that I must leave now

Or become the dreaming dead



Death is eternal, life is not

I've made my choice this is where I belong

A slave to the illusion



Nothing here can hurt me

I will never leave

Never return to the gate

No more lies and no more sorrow

Here in the empire of my thoughts.



And for as long as the world is turning

And for as long as the sun is burning

I will be here, forever and never leave

And for as long as the world is turning

And for as long as my heart is yearning

I will be here, forever

Forever and never leave



Back in the real world

A family is gathered

Around a hospital bed

Mourning for their son,

Living thru the machine



A gypsy woman found him lifeless in the cold

In the forest, near the tree from the legend of the breathing shadow



For as long as the world is turning

And for as long as the sun is burning

They will miss you forever and never forget

For as long as the world is turning

And for as long as the sun is burning

They will miss you, forever and ever

Forever and never believe that you are gone.



You stop. It's over now.

The machine is silent and so are you.

The gypsy woman spoke to your coffin.

(And) she said: I hope you liked my bedtime stories.



Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!



The end.
