The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

[Tobias Sammet]
For too long now I've been
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me

[Ronnie Atkins]
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
From the world that's been...

[Jorn Lande]
...spinning around you, with and without you
Sedating, unkind

Show you the way
Deliver and faint!
Relish to stand in line!

[Tobi & Ronnie]
Oh

[Tobias Sammet]
I guess you'll find no one to blame
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game

[Ronnie Atkins]
Try to fly, flap your wings
As you look to the night sky
A gilded cage in the twilight

[Jorn Lande and Tobias Sammet]
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

[Jorn Lande]
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

[Tobi & Ronnie]
Oh

[Tobias Sammet]
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...

[Eric Martin and Tobias Sammet]
...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

[Jorn Lande]
You're blind by the beauty around
You're numb by the touch
And you're deaf to the sound
[Tobias Sammet]
Of the sweet-smelling
Bright melody of the moonlight
That devours the bars in the twilight

[Ronnie Atkins and Tobias Sammet]
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

[Ronnie Atkins and Tobias Sammet]
Dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change tonight
[Ronnie Atkins]
You will see the Great Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear

[Jorn Lande]
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
[Tobias Sammet]
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds

[Bob Catley]
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
King of the wave, now keep flailing about

[Jorn Lande]
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
[Eric Martin]
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across

[Geoff Tate]
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong

[Ronnie Atkins]
We're the breath you don't catch
We're the great expectations
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side

[Eric Martin]
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
[Bob Catley]
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

[Tobias Sammet]
Get me out of here
Take me away
Take me
Take me
Take me away
Take me away

[Ronnie Atkins]
Dance on the wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
[Tobias Sammet]
Now you're reaching for the stars

[Tobias Sammet and Jorn Lande]
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
