I had the dream last evening The Elders all were there Cloaked in hooded garments Electricity in their hair They carried water candles That flickered cobalt blue And bedroom eyes could not disguise The evil they would do While looming in the distance The silhouetted hills Were hosting all the victims And counting up the kills The sunset streaked a vapor trail Upon a water color sky The night folded its wings around me As I discovered I could fly I soared above the houses Through cotton candy skies The frightened children watching My image passed across their eyes While screaming in their bedrooms The women loved their pain I lost my grip on heaven And fell to earth again SongtexteThe smell of fear engulfed me It came down from on high Although I tried to run away My legs would not comply I felt upon my shoulder A bony lifeless hand It churned a chill inside me And made me understand ?Ignorance hides in the darkest places And feeds its poison to its young You'll wipe them from existence You are the chosen one? Somehow I escaped him And headed for the sea Across a field of broken mirrors Reflecting everything but me I walked across the water And came upon a boat Where Moses and Picasso Were trying to stay afloat One was painting flowers The other skipping stones When I asked them to explain They cried, ?Leave us alone!? I hitchhiked back to Ixtlan That painter stole my van The locals in Atlantis Were all working on their tan And when I tried to warn them My teeth fell from my mouth A Snowstorm was approaching So I headed south The crowd had just descended On the beach at Normandy Where Hitler joined Queen Mary To have a spot of tea Now all of this confusion Made perfect sense to me It was a revelation A truth I had to see The Painter and the Prophet Got married later on And took their honeymoon On the shores of Balaton The water from the candles Turned the Ocean cobalt blue The burnt electric air Gave my lungs a death tattoo Aus Songtexte Mania
