As I fall in the pit I float to the ground
I'm crushed by the memories my head spreads around
The past like a creature from deep in the sea
It sings from the lighthouse a song just for me
In my dream

All the places I've been now have curtains of dust
And the bells in the steeples have rotted to rust
But they ring out a dirge to introduce me
To the city that lies sleeping waiting for me
In my dream

In a dream I see silver and gold lose its charm
I laugh as the captain's house moves cross the lawn
I feel the walls closing, the hall starts to yawn

Silent shadows surrounding me now
Sing requiem for a life in the cloud
Night is calling well that can this mean
To my dream in a dream

As I make my descent into my new home
When the truth comes to visit it cuts to the bone
And the dirge that I once heard has long ceased to be
Still the rats in the family continue to scream
In my dream

And the bells keep on ringing to drown out my tears
I'm stalked by the sounds of the silence of years
The pendulum swinging well what can it mean

Silent shadows surrounding me now
Sing requiem for a life in the cloud
Night is calling well that can this mean
To my dream in a dream
In my dream
