TIAMAT LYRICS
"The Sleeping Beauty - Live in Israel" (1994 Live album)
1. In a Dream
2. Ancient Entity
3. The Sleeping Beauty
4. Mountain of Doom
5. Angels Far Beyond
1. In a Dream
In a dream
I'm climbing the clouds
I touch a subdued sky
With my bare hands
In a dream
Let me drag you through my world
My kingdom for your thoughts
What is in your mind
CHORUS
When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream
In a dream
I stand naked on a hill
I am looking down at me
Trying to touch my cold skin
In a dream
In a pool of blood
Evil is as pure as innocence
Evil is as pure as love
CHORUS
When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream
2. Ancient Entity
Beneath the fullmoon
Covered in gloomy clouds
Obscure funeral spirits
Evil shadows on haunted ground
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
Through the mist I see
A circle around the gathered souls
In the mist I do belive
In sacred power of ancient kind
Knights of Satan, dead boys choir
Ten ore more around a fire
Invoking dragons and demons this event
They are not the ones that God has sent
I heard them whisper...
"As you reach the border to the unknown land,
Or when you are visited by the great lords of darkness...
Take your time, have in mind and remember...
This is not supposed to be a comfortable land..."
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
3. The Sleeping Beauty
Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my life
And the sleeping beauty is my wife
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
4. Mountain of Doom
Evil imaginations of a time to come
Dreamly dead - Almost gone
Nocturnal visits from the beyond
I will travel down the Mountain of Doom
At the highest point visible
I behold the sun for the very last time
I see an awful sight with awful beings
As the sun goes down behind the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find
I have lost hold of myself
Taken to the extent of my life
Eternal sleep in a dreamworld's coffin
Entombed beneath the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find
Now I'm there
Enjoying my peace of mind
In this lair
Death is what you'll find
5. Angels Far Beyond
Into the domain of wonderful throes
Ended in swelled domes
Like walking a tapered path
Displaying every phase in life
Angels are whispering from far beyond
I step on hallowed ground
Whereon rose clustered bouquets are thrown
I look back at my past
A lonely tear is running from my eye
Angels are whispering from far beyond
Golden flames burned out
Like mighty men who left in delight
Bizarre but still romantic
Remains scattered in the air
Angels are whispering from far beyond
Dreaded in a beautiful way...
