Lyrics The Ivory Gate Of Dreams: VII. Aquiescence - Fates Warning

The Ivory Gate Of Dreams: VII. Aquiescence

Betrayed by innocence
Deceived by delusions
Plagiarized promises
Pale into empty hopes
Ivory towers bow down
In reverence to daylight
As dreamers awaken
In sleepers somber shade
Ocean Waves shift leaving
Only memories
Final traces of hope
Are swallowed in the deep
Despair sends a certain calm
A vague sense of relief
Released from all our longings
Silently we’ll sleep
Hope leads to quiet desperation
When reality obscures the dream
Makes the mind a grave of memories
That wander like the lonely breeze
Whose whispers echo through ruins rust
Of towers torn and dreams turned to dust
