I think I'm standing in a garden at night
The distant stars provide the only light
Strange flowers grow all around me,
their heavy fragrance intoxicates me
Pre Chorus
Reality is slowly growing dimmer
and I begin to see a new world shimmer
It's like seeing through a silver haze
into a weird but beautiful place
Filled with dreams I begin to wander
through this maze of alien wonders
Into glades with ponds of starlight,
ethereal beauty beyond human might
Pre Chorus
And I see statues moving as in trance
with slow gestures, in a grotesque dance
to the mystical and haunting tunes
that fill this place like narcotic fumes
Chorus
I might be dead, or maybe I am dreaming?
It doesn't matter, it has no meaning
in this world of black and silver
Solo Dahl
Bridge
Then this dream-state takes an evil twist
and all the sudden rises a reeking mist
The air turns foul by the sickening haze
Corruption spreads throughout the maze
Malignant shadows with lurid eyes
roar with laughter as the beauty dies
Insane whispers and bestial groans
mingle with my tormented moans
Chorus
