A Dream Within a Dream by Dawn Of Winter Lyrics

(Act 1 – In great parts inspired by and adopted from the poem of E.A. Poe)

Take this kiss upon the brow - And in parting from you now
You're not wrong - You who deem - That my days have been a dream

Yet if hope has flown away - In a night or in a day
In a vision or in none - Is it therefore the less gone

All that we see - All that we see or seem
Is nothing but a dream within a dream

A dream within a dream - Just a dream within a dream

I stand amid the roar - Of a surf-tormented shore
And I hold within my hands - All these grains of golden sand

How few - Yet how they creep - Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep can I not save - One from the wave - Pitiless wave

(Act 2 - As envisioned by G.P.M.)
And tonight we’ll meet again - In a tide of dreams that never end
Neither alive nor dead - And tonight we'll laugh and cry
We'll unite and say goodbye - Fade away and stay
