Ancient Dreams

(Teil 1)
I'm wandering through | the fields tonight
the moon sends down its | nice smooth light
The wind guides me | along my way
Heading nowhere, | leaving this day
Slowing down | on every step
Staring at the | horizon ahead
Then I lay down | by a tree
leaving the world | that is scaring me

I close my eyes | and imagine how
this world has changed from | the past till now
All the things, | that we achieved
and all the things, in | which we believe
I wonder if | once maybe
the people were not | as sad as me
So my mind | switches scenes
and I drift of to | ancient dreams

(Teil 2)
Of this | old scroll
you must | have heard
From my | feather
comes eve|ry word
I am a wise philosopher
Thousands hear the wisdom
I contradict my emperor
he also has to listen

This blade | reflects
light like | a mirror
My strength | shines through
my suit | of armor
"Behold! The mighty white knight!"
"And his loyal fellows"
the people say upon my sight
as everybody knows us

(Teil 3)
How can it be
the authorities, they disagree
How can't they see
My wise words aren't blasphemy
Oh no, those stones
What's gonna be their purpose
Oh no, so close
Back off! Honesty is the path I chose!

How can it be
The unbelievers, they don't flee
How can't they see
The justice in fighting for the almighty.
Oh no, my back
which coward made such a sneaky attack?
Oh no, this whack
My view begins to fade to black...

(Outro)
I wake up, | my clothes all wet
Thinking about | the dream I had
Glad to live | nowadays
when people found | other ways
To get along | peacefully
or is this also | a dream for me?
Because this world's | a paradise
only as long | as I close my eyes
