Edge of Sanity
Velvet Dreams
I wipe the dust from my shoulders
The dust from velvet sands
In dreamland of non-divine
Free of all space and time

I watch across the fields
The fields of forever
And as the sand turns to stars in my eyes
I'm no longer blind

Start to walk thru landscapes of frozen glass
The velvet sands reflect me like a mirror
My skin is pale blue
But I feel my body burning with fever
I see myself in the velvet sand
What am I? Human, soul or demon?

Embodied emotions, infinite
Eternal sleep awaits me as I am

Dreaming velvet dreams
Crying purple tears
I change
Laughter turns to hate
Blood-drowned are my thoughts
The rainbow turns all red
I burn I'm in fire
Burned by velvet dreams

I strole thru the infinite garden of neverending frost
Unblessed, unpure
Here I am, my own god and master
Everything is soft like velvet
But the velvet dreams obscure my mind
I pick a rose so black
But I am scarred by the thorns

And it feels like I was in fire
Burned by velvet dreams
And it feels like I was in fire
Burned by velvet dreams
That seems so safe...
Bless me. Caress me
Take away my fears
Thru the pain in velvet dreams
Wipe away my purple tears

Burn me, turn me
Make me one with the other side
Healed by the burning in velvet dreams
With the dead now I ride

Embodied emotions, infinite
Sleep awaits no longer
Nevermore shall I...

Dream those velvet dreams
Cry those purple tears
Never, nevermore
I stand about divine
God of none and all
Knowledge beyond
The rainbow and the stars
Never more shall I

Dream those velvet dreams
Cry those purple tears
Never, nevermore
I stand about divine
God of none and all
Knowledge beyond
The rainbow and the stars
Now I am the unknown that you love
God of none and all
Now I am the unknown that you love
God of none and all
