What Dreams Forbode
Lefay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are portals connected
Between dimensions and through time
I should know though I'm caught here
I know what dreams are made of
Here it start and here it ends
This is where the time bends
Everything in reality
Begins here in this insanity
Somehow I sense the decay
Of A billion worlds
It's so unreal
Still I know
What this plase of dreams forbode
Darkness fed by the tears of pain
Seeking worlds to rape and slay
And A thousand years away
I hear A codelike constant pray
I see dreams I've dreamt before
In this rapid mindwarp
Help me out - I can take no more
Lord have mercy on my soul
Somehow I sense the decay
Of A billion worlds
It's so unreal
Still I know
What this plase of dreams forbode
What for I say
What for I moan
Here I am so alone
I see A child with A gun in his hand
I see A man with A palm full of sand
They're the same but with different shapes
They are me - I'm the one they await
We are one and I am them all
I'm A dreaming eternal soul
Behind the door to creation
I hold the key to salvation
Somehow I sense the decay
Of A billion worlds
It's so unreal
Still I know
What this place of dreams forbode
What for I say
What for I moan
Here I am so alone
It's so unreal
Still I know
What this place of dreams forbode
Here I am




In neverland
Why - I can not understand
