The Piper at the Gates of Dawn |
| For too long now I’ve been |
| Adrift in this ocean that washed over me |
| Diluting the secrets that you had to keep |
| From the world that’s been… |
| …spinning around you, with and without you |
| Sedating, unkind |
| Show you the way |
| Deliver and faint! |
| Relish to stand in line! |
| Oh |
| I guess you’ll find no one to blame |
| We’re tied to the rules of someone else’s game |
| Try to fly, flap your wings |
| As you look to the night sky |
| A gilded cage in the twilight |
| You dance on a wire |
| See the piper at the gates of dawn |
| Been caught in the mire |
| Now you’re reaching for the stars oh oh |
| Oh, dance on the wire |
| To the breeze that carries change |
| Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars |
| The piper at the gates of dawn you’ll hear |
| Oh |
| For quite a while I have been |
| The one that I thought I was happy to be |
| Masquerade, at least a shadow play |
| No one’s gonna see… |
| …behind the fascade, those rallying calls |
| You’re afraid to awake |
| Look at the sky, you can’t defy |
| The dark that is calling your name |
| You’re blind by the beauty around |
| You’re numb by the touch |
| And you’re deaf to the sound |
| Of the sweet-smelling |
| Bright melody of the moonlight |
| That devours the bars in the twilight |
| You dance on a wire |
| See the piper at the gates of dawn |
| Been caught in the mire |
| Now you’re reaching for the stars oh oh |
| Dance on the wire |
| To the breeze that carries change tonight |
| You will see the Great Pan in the stars |
| The piper at the gates of dawn you’ll hear |
| Now open your eyes, ain’t it what you’ve been wanting |
| Too much to fathom, until it unfolds |
| Endure what you’re in for, you’re meant to be longing |
| King of the wave, now keep flailing about |
| We’re the dream the inhabits the waking old world |
| We’re right here, we’re the doorway to guide you across |
| Exposed to the spirits that you’re meant to be citing |
| Misfit and misplaced, you’ll never belong |
| We’re the breath you don’t catch |
| We’re the great expectations |
| You ain’t measured up to on the beautiful side |
| We’re the promise not kept — bred in desolation |
| We’re the will of the wisp — demerged from the light |
| Get me out of here |
| Take me away |
| Take me |
| Take me |
| Take me away |
| Take me away |
| Dance on the wire |
| See the piper at the gates of dawn |
| Now you’re reaching for the stars |
| You dance on a wire |
| See the piper at the gates of dawn |
| Been caught in the mire |
| Now you’re reaching for the stars oh oh |
| Dance on the wire |
| To the breeze that carries change — tonight |
| You will see, the Great Pan in the stars |
| The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near |
