Dream is true I drink about us Too tight that used to be Night after night I dream about us When we were young and free
As far as of here we came A man will look its magic And the pain will disappear I choose I don't miss today your love I am one of those winners hiding from all sight Once a flawless wish became my sin Rise from the memories I held
I only wish you'll understand Why its grudge comes now I only wish you will take my hand And lead me through the cold within me
As far as of here we came The man will look this magic In the pain will disappear I choose I don't miss today your love I am one of those winners hiding from all sight Once a flawless wish became my sin Rise from the memories I held
When dusk falls a beautiful soul Is coming mourning like you did A faded grace of yesterday And dig all my anger within me
In the Court of the Crimson King, 1969
A-one, two, three, four
Two, two, three
Cat's foot, iron claw
Neurosurgeons scream for more
Paranoia's poison door
21st century schizoid man
Blood rack, barbed wire
Politicians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
21st century schizoid man
Death seed, blind man's greed
Poets starving, children bleed
Nothing he's got, he really needs
21st century schizoid man
Countdown to extinction, 1992
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy
Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy
If you're fighting to live
It's okay to die
The answer to your question is
Welcome to tomorrow
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy
Is this real, 1979
Well you've heard it all before
Do you have to ignore it then
From all the people I adore
Misfits
Misfits
Well we're all misfits
Well we're all misfits, yeah
Yeah we're all misfits
Misfits
Misfits
Well you know it's just the pits
When you don't quite fit and yet
But you just don't up and quit
Misfits

Mabool, 2004
"On to the lands we must go to warn all"
Said the Snake, to the Eagle and the Lion
"Beg them to repent so they might be saved
From the fury and the anger that shall claim them"
And so they set sail across the land ans seas alike
In a quest to avoid the setting of the sun
"God's rage is true
He urges you
To awake..."
"Thou has stolen, betrayed
And worshiped pagan gods
Thou must awake, thy lost faith to be saved"
And so spoke the propets,
As the mob has gathered round
(They) said their empire would soon crumble
And fall down
"Thou art our our brothers, hear our call this day
We come not to see your end,
But to revive we pray"
"God's rage is true
He urges you
To awake..."
"Where did these three come from"
Asked the crowd anxiously
Furious and confused at the same time,
"Surely these people are lying or jesting.
Either way they are here to cause harm."
"You just be on your way", said the mob as a
Warning, "or else (all) hell will break loose!"
"It's all a matter of choice..." said the Eagle,
Though they really didn't
Have much to choose...(From)
Of machines and men, 2000
Strange is how I truly feel
When I watch the world outside
Everything appears unreal
With nowhere left to hide
When I was younger the light in my room
Would stay on with the light of the moon
Now the comfort I had in such things
Is broken and so are my wings
Afraid is what I truly am
Of nothing and all there is
Wouldn't help me if you gave a damn
Wouldn't bring me bliss
When I was younger the light in my room
Would stay on with the light of the moon
Now the comfort I had in such things
Is broken and so are my wings
Symbolic, 1995
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power, it opens wide
On your seventh day
Is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
All the traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse forever confined
Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against dreams
Made of steel
Stronger than any faith
That inflicts pain and fear
Is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
Dreamquest, 1996
Darkness surrounds me
When I fall asleep
Silence hurts my ears
Then a wave of emptiness
Push my soul away
I fly
Free from my glove of flesh
A meadow I see
The Sky is grey
Far away to the North
Dark fingers strike the stars
A tree stands proud and tall
The desert is its fellow
Alone it watches the land
It guards the waste of (cold) sand
This lonely form of life
Is only an illusion
It hides a dark reality
It covers a great temple
I float before the gate
I read the known inscriptions
I say the Words of Power
I enter through the passage
"Long stairs descend the Abyss
They fall in the deeps of this cold land
Where the Lord of Dreams sleeps in death
Dreaming its revenge"
