Flying too close to the sun on wings of feathers and wax The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling The sun slowly disappears in a blood red sea The moon casts a silver veil, it’s eyes are upon me The earth turns a ghostly pale, it sighs with the breeze I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve thought about you Those dreams, the visions I’ve seen are locked in the past But time can still shed a light, through darkness and shadows Your ghost calls to me every night, and I must obey I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken My dreams are the only escape, as they lie in waiting The screaming of souls at night, I dare not awaken What draws a man to the dark when light’s all around him? Like flying too close to the sun, it burns through his soul I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken I wander down these darkened halls, old memories lie waiting They hide like a thief in the night, I dare not awake them The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling The clouds trace across the sky, they follow the breeze
