The Tangent - In Darkest Dreams lyrics

In Darkest Dreams I) PRELUDE - TIME FOR YOU [Instrumental] II) NIGHT TERRORS (Roine vocal) Still a slave to the nighttime demons Still captured by their spell Looking down into the vortex To the fires of a sleep-created Hell Down in the seething ma** You see, though from afar... ... Your one last chance All's not fair in sleep and war When you're on the losing side Placed in battle by your own nightmares And no one hears your tortured cries But through the battle lines... You see, though from afar, That one defining point of light That shows who you are This sleep is not what it seems! But it's bearing down on me, Tearing out of me, Until the daylight comes around. And this is not the end of the world Although you sure can see it from here Nights and terrors blend into blackness Random thoughts replaced by fears Called form somewhere In the back of some lost mind Comes the drive, the motivation, In the daylight, dreams are blind III) THE MIDNIGHT WATERSHED (Roine-guitar, Sam-piano, Andy-organ & synth) [Instrumental] IV) IN DARK DREAMS (Jonas-ba**, Andy-vocal) Believe it or not, I've been there too, I've walked the same precipice as you, And I've looked down... Through the darkest dreams, cacophonous sounds, Does it sometimes feel you'll never find the ground? Still I can't reach you and I can't teach you You're lost in a dream Believe it or not, I've walked your way, I've walked the tightrope that traverses night and day And I've looked down... Lost my balance on the spiraling ground You're clinging on, in whirling blindness, And I'm just nowhere to be found If I could be your teacher, Your guide to what is out there In the dark dreams of your life Just reach out for a brother, Or claim your all-time lover As you hang there on this knife edge V) THE HALF-LIGHT WATERSHED (Guy-acoustic instruments and synthetic cello) [Instrumental] VII) ON RETURNING (Guy vocal) Believe it or not, bright lights turn grey, And the watersheds still join up the days, As we spin round in the chaos of time, And the chaos of space VII) A SAX IN THE DARK (David-saxophones) [Instrumental] VIII) NIGHT TERRORS (REPRISE) (Roine vocal) Still a slave to the nighttime demons Still captured by their spell Looking down into the vortex To the fires of a sleep-created Hell With all your energies You see, though from afar... That one, great, true point of light That day is who you are This sleep is not what it seems! But it's bearing down on me, Tearing out of me, Until the daylight comes around.
