Perfect how this comes full circle musically and lyrically. Love the mood in the verse part for "Why would you leave me..." This is probably my favorite song right now. Finally bought the last 2 albums.
A Dream Within a Dream Lyrics This is a dream that we share A ball full of thoughts in our minds The night is young The game is on And all else falls way behind It’s so real, this dreamy invention It’s never been like this… The world is twisted around And we can’t control this creation But it’s never been like this, been like this, been like this, been like this, like this… This is a dream going on Where we can decide what we are and where We may dissolve the ground if we fall And the dream might turn into a nightmare Maybe we grew tired of living on This narrow path that we walked upon And maybe we could build it somewhere A new world made of dreamers It’s so real, this dreamy invention We know but reality’s outdone by far Now we can be who we are Though we can’t control this creation It’s never been like this… There’s a magical current Of belief in the air As we let ourselves in But when we open our eyelids And step into the dream A kind of vision presents itself A man with lonely eyes Glazed from all they’ve seen Worn-down from forced goodbyes So many has-beens Something’s taken hold of my feelings Something’s taken hold of my soul I try to crack a hole in the ceiling But it grows out of hand I’m losing my self-control Why would you leave me? Why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it and now utopia is gone King of the promised land Abundance of luxury With powers to make a stand So handsome I’ll be! This is everything that I dreamed of This is how my life should have been But hidden in the back of this dreamstuff A notion so grim: something is missing Why would you leave me? Why would you give up the world we created? I thought we could make it Now I’ve been abandoned And why, after all we’ve been through? Utopia was you All the fires inside me Keep on burning my tears When they should have been shed In the midst of a breakdown I’m disturbingly calm Am I living or dead? There’s a place I long to see That resembles home Where the sky is dressed in blue And I am citizen unknown And I wish that you’ll be there Awaiting my return To the simple lives we knew I guess you live and learn My kingdom finally fell Crashed by loneliness The wondrous heaven turned to hell Less is more con more is less But it’s a dream within a dream ‘Cause there’s no way back The sleep and I won’t separate So here I am standing One step from landing in time So I may rectify my crime Tossed through the layers Demolishing chaos The dream is gone Maybe it’s a dream within a dream Maybe things are not what they seem Maybe…

A Dream Within a Dream Lyrics
This is a dream that we share
A ball full of thoughts in our minds
The night is young
The game is on
And all else falls way behind
It’s so real, this dreamy invention
It’s never been like this…
The world is twisted around
And we can’t control this creation
But it’s never been like this, been like this, been like this, been like this, like this…
This is a dream going on
Where we can decide what we are and where
We may dissolve the ground if we fall
And the dream might turn into a nightmare
Maybe we grew tired of living on
This narrow path that we walked upon
And maybe we could build it somewhere
A new world made of dreamers
It’s so real, this dreamy invention
We know but reality’s outdone by far
Now we can be who we are
Though we can’t control this creation
It’s never been like this…
There’s a magical current
Of belief in the air
As we let ourselves in
But when we open our eyelids
And step into the dream
A kind of vision presents itself
A man with lonely eyes
Glazed from all they’ve seen
Worn-down from forced goodbyes
So many has-beens
Something’s taken hold of my feelings
Something’s taken hold of my soul
I try to crack a hole in the ceiling
But it grows out of hand
I’m losing my self-control
Why would you leave me?
Why would you give up the world we created?
I thought we could make it and now utopia is gone
King of the promised land
Abundance of luxury
With powers to make a stand
So handsome I’ll be!
This is everything that I dreamed of
This is how my life should have been
But hidden in the back of this dreamstuff
A notion so grim: something is missing
Why would you leave me?
Why would you give up the world we created?
I thought we could make it
Now I’ve been abandoned
And why, after all we’ve been through?
Utopia was you
All the fires inside me
Keep on burning my tears
When they should have been shed
In the midst of a breakdown
I’m disturbingly calm
Am I living or dead?
There’s a place I long to see
That resembles home
Where the sky is dressed in blue
And I am citizen unknown
And I wish that you’ll be there
Awaiting my return
To the simple lives we knew
I guess you live and learn
My kingdom finally fell
Crashed by loneliness
The wondrous heaven turned to hell
Less is more con more is less
But it’s a dream within a dream
‘Cause there’s no way back
The sleep and I won’t separate
So here I am standing
One step from landing in time
So I may rectify my crime
Tossed through the layers
Demolishing chaos
The dream is gone
Maybe it’s a dream within a dream
Maybe things are not what they seem
Maybe…
