Are We Dead Or Are We Dreaming?
Um... I get the feeling this isn't actually how it ended. But I went and wrote this anyway, because it's a good quote.
Also, this is my third song with Rose, and my second where she's the one singing. I should probably branch out more.
It was a dark night in the void when I asked you about it
You had no answer for me yet, and if you did, I'd doubt it
We were confused and wondering what happened to us
I'm trying just as hard as you, so don't you fuss...
I can't remember where I was before I woke here
Settings betray us and confusion brings us such fear...
It seems that you know nothing more of all this than I do
But I remember dying - what happened to you?
Are we dead or are we dreaming?
Please, say something if you know...
I don't have all of the answers
And I'm not ready to go...
The violet castles are the backdrop of our dreams
And yet in subtle shadings nothing's as it seems
I know I fought the dog, and went to save the moon
But I'm not sure if that is happening so soon...
It's funny how this went, the Seer so confused...
If it weren't life-or-death, I'd find myself amused
You have your questions, and no answers for them yet
What are we meant to do when pathfinders forget?
Are we dead or are we dreaming?
Please, say something if you know...
I don't have all of the answers
I'm just hoping it's not time to go...
Are we dead or are we dreaming?
In my mind I still am screaming
Waiting for an answer took so long, a silence I can't stand...
I rode the moon into the night
You couldn't stop my flight
I meant no harm but you would quickly force my hand...
The shattered chains hung out in space
A turning orb, a cosmic race...
You woke as he came swooping down in sparking rage...
It's neither dream nor death
Though I'll soon breathe my final breath
At least you'll be safe, far offstage...
You woke within the moon and wished you could have stayed
I know you meant to be the sacrifice we made
You'll forgive me some day, when all this is done
But this is how the battle here and now is won...
Are we dead or are we dreaming?
I already know...
I may not have all the answers
But it's my turn to go...
This was the way it always went, and I will go...
