lyrics

Trick of the light

Must be these dreams at night that haunt me
1:29 in the AM
A nether world between pitch and dawning
Strange déjà vu of things that never were

(Chorus)
Figures in the fog
Like a kind of warning
A trick of the light
Or coming morning
Can’t keep up this pace
Despite the yearning
No oil left in the lamp
For random burning
Just a trick of the light

Might be these dreams of late that wake me
Shake me from the film that seems so real
Intrepid foes and plots enlightening
Once spoken aloud from a weary soul

Chorus

Some troubling dream that find me
Hand-painted frames in a deathish gloom
A ruined fortress a starless canvas
Of velvet black or mortal doom
Shrouded figure in a plague mask
Pushing a gondola past
While figures loom

Chorus
