An upbeat, hard rock about the H.P. Lovecraft short story, "Celephais".
lyrics
This shining city from my dreams
Where the open sky meets the blue sea
Deep in the valley of majesty
I know I've been here before
Through the home of childhood nurturing
Past the city that now sleeps
Down the abyss of infinity
I know I can return to this memory
And then I wake up
Where my name means nothing
Damn the waking world
Where I don't care for anything
There's so much more...
The world
The sky
The beauty beyond this life
A life shrouded in grey
I'll find a way
To run free among the stars
Marble, bronze, onyx still remain
The merchant beyond time who knows my name
A journey through endless sky and space
The clouded city within reach
And still I wake up
Never to return again
Don't make me wake up
I can't last this life
No more can I take this
The bleak time of day
I give all to end this
And wander all alone
Taken me
Away
To the city of boundless sky
Grandeur of timeless reign
Forever I can run free
Among the stars
Run free among the stars
