Ancient Dreams lyrics

[Music and Lyrics by Leif Edling/CANDLEMASS]



[Published by Active records.]

[Original version available on CANDLEMASS' "Ancient Dreams"Lp/Cd
1988.]



Reach deep within where reality is hard to find

Search in the corners of the winding mazes of your mind

Seek out the treasures that open doors that some keep sealed

Believe in your dreams and a wonderworld will be revealed

Come to the boundless land somewhere inside your fantasies

Built by dreams and magic the secret place that none have seen



Chase the horizons, catch the illusion

Remember the child within

There's no tomorrow just sadness and sorrow

Hold on to the Ancient Dreams



Great kings and tyrants, unicorns and elflords

Devils and demons, dungeons and dragons

Phoenix is rising up from the ashes of the wind

Born into glory, then back to ashes once again

High flies the dragon, the ruler of the seven skies

Riding the winds, not knowing that he just can't die



See how the wizard cast his spell with maddened eyes

Using his magic to reach the heavenly skies

Witness the alchemist turning all his lead to gold

Try after try, begging that his fantasy will hold

See how the rainbow bends it shape into the sea

Follow the sign and your dreams will be reality
