Garden Of Dreams by The Flower Kings Lyrics
[Part I: Dawn]
(Instrumental)
[Part II: Simple Song]
Life was simple in the primal days
We just found our way to start it small
We were happy, walking in the sun
Rock the little ones that summer
Smiling faces like an old cartoon
Dancing in the room, we laughed and played
Life is easy we can stay this place
This amazing grace for years to come
Close your eyes, lay down on meadows green
Entering the scene of summer
You don't have to search the way of the Gods
And the star fields above will bring you higher
But happiness won’t enter your heart
Your ambition will leave you restless
Speeding the wheels of evolution
Set the industrial heart in motion
[Part III: Business Vamp]
Up with business, close your hearts
Once a Tribe, now worlds apart
Gentle safe built within
Let the wheels of fortune spin
Call for doctors, call for a Priest
Soon get rid of that greedy beast
Soon I'll catch my long lost freedom
Will I get back my private Eden?
My private Eden
Number One, I will not let them fool me
I'll be true, now I won’t let them rule me
Number One, get back my primal garden, I will work your wonders
Be the one to praise all the living, be the one to practise forgiving
Be the one to tellin' the blues, be the one to sing out the truth
I'll be over
Leaves all scattered in the wind
A thousand hearts and hopes within
Speaking slowly the tattered tongues
Chaos, misspelling right and wrong
Out of human factories
Young confound, a brand new breed
Now speed our life
Now speed your love
Number One, I will not let them fool me
I'll be true, now I won't let them rule me
Number One, get back my primal garden
[Part IV: All You Can Save]
I'll conduct a circus out of nowhere
I'll create a kingdom out of dust
No matter how clever, I won't stay forever
A smile, then I’m gone with the wind
She’ll host all the gardens, all of splendour
Treasure all the diamonds and of gold
The fruits of their labor, you know it won't save her
The day when the ship comes by
Bye, it’s no use to cry
You're feeling so sad, but you don't know why
You're leaving home and you’re leaving alone
To sail the sea of eternity
All you can save is the love that we made
When you're lost in the shades again
We'll taste all the sweetness, of all summer
We'll dream of all flowers, of all spring
Now seeing ourselves, and you know I can't help
Feeling small when our lives rushing by
Bye, there's no use to cry
You're feeling so low, but you don't know why
You're leaving home, and you're leaving alone
To sail the sea of eternity
All you can save is the love that we made
All you can save is the love that we made
[Part V: Attack Of The Monster Briefcase]
(Instrumental)
[Part VI: Mr. Hope Goes To Wall Street]
(Instrumental)
[Part VII: Did I Tell You]
All you can save is the love that we made
All you can save is the love that we made
Leaves all scattered in the wind
A thousand hearts and hopes within
Speaking slowly tattered tongues
Chaos misspelling right and wrong
Out of human factories
Young confound a brand new breed
Now speed our life
Sudden comes the last goodbye, kept it in, my tears run dry
Grab my hands into the soil, into this earth, this mortal coil
Saw my son a tired old man, slipping out of daddy's hands
Should I tell you long ago, how I loved you, did you know?
Did I tell you?
Did I tell you?
Did I teach you?
[Part VIII: Garden of Dreams]
Puppets and prunes in the world of balloons, where all tears run dry
Flaming old sisters and marmelade misters watch trains go by
Little one used to laugh in the sun
Now he's a soldier with nowhere to run
Flowers and trees in the garden of dreams, can we touch it all?
Buttlerfly wings, all the colourful things, are we feeling small?
Fingers of green from a world unseen
Grab my head in this magic dream
Twist the end of the afternoon
I travel the void alone
Yes I travel the void alone
Butterfly Queen in the kingdom of green, she can dance so high
Strawberry strangers and papercup angels will never die
The pigs from the sky, the star from the seed
The road linger on in the woods and the weed
The road linger on in the woods in the weeds
[Part IX: Don't Let the d'Evil In]
1000 light-years from ancient home
Caught in this orbit called the "Negadrome"
Watching the darkness still feed on fear
Love ain't real in the void down here
Look like your neighbour and talk like a friend
He's the Duke of Dust, run his mining men
He'll slay your daughter and burn your land
He's far beyond what you can understand!
Don't let the Devil in
Don't let the Devil in, don't let him win
Bring on your troopers, my jigsaw friend
Your dark little soldiers until the end
The mindless slayers, your nuclear tanks
So wave your little wand now, the brimstone blanket
The big black moon in the skies above
There ain't no freedom if there ain't no love
You speak of progress but you're going back
Defend your Kingdom of the snakepit shack
Don't let the Devil in
Don't let the Devil in
Don't let the Devil in
Don't let the Devil in, take your love away
[Part X: Love Is The Word]
Peace is the word dreamers dreaming, pacing the word 'love'
Truth is the sound ears are craving, light is the white dove
Hope is the ship sailing the ocean, life is my friend dear
Long as we feel a distant heartbeat, long as we're still here
Peace is the word dreamers dreaming, pacing the word 'love'
Long as we feel a distant heartbeat, long as we're still here
I'm in the middle of what I was up to
I'm in the middle of what you'd expect me to
I'm in the middle of what I was up to
I'm in the middle of what you'd expect me to
I'm in the middle of what I was up to
I'm in the state of shock, constantly craving
Constantly playing, constantly praying in the middle of nowhere
[Part XI: There's No Such Night]
When the prince of darkness enters your room
When you're lost in the darkest of cocoon, remember
There is no such thing as blank and total darkness in your garden
There's no such night that's cold and solely starless
Look inside, you'll find it glowing hidden in the dark
The seed of life, the mouth of evil couldn't chew that spark tonight
Couldn't chew that spark tonight
When black birds darken the skies of thunder
The Black Moon cover the sun, I wonder
There's no such way that they can crucify the words of wonder
There is no such gravity that holds the stone, the stone of ages
Listen well, you'll find it singing in the night
From the other side, just couldn't get it right
Just couldn't get it right
Now I'll try to get it right
This time
This time
This time

[Part XIII: Dungeon Of The Deep]
(Instrumental)
[Part XIV: Indian Summer]
Days getting shorter, nights turning cold
Last days of summer, tales being told
Canning the fruits now, sweetness your soul
Birds have flown, now kids are grown
Sunlight still fighting the afternoon
Lift up the curtains and hand me my cane
Go for a walk now down old Sunny Lane
Take me to places with more smiling faces
Take me to the cities, all cultures and races
Show me a warlord that's way out of fashion
Show me a world where there's a place for compassion
Days getting shorter, nights turning cold
Last rays of sunlight in the valley below
Bring home the roses, but leave out the thorn
Ladies gone to the shadowlands
Sunlight still fighting against the rain
[Part XV: Sunny Lane]
(Instrumental)
[Part XVI: Gardens Revisited]
(Instrumental)
[Part XVII: Shadowland]
(Instrumental)
[Part XVIII: The Final Deal]
There's no such thing as blank and total darkness
There's no such night that's cold and solely starless
Before we know, the story goes
In ways we never have thought of, in wonder ways
And so we speak in gardens green
We walk the bright hills of summer in Evermore
Into the sun, where dreamers run
We fight for freedom, sunlight and alltime brights
The way we've grown, the seeds we've sown
Today we're almost as high as we sail the sky
And so we dream in gardens green
We walk the brightest of summer in Evermore
In love we trust, we're home at last
To hear the sweet songs of angels in Everlast
This dream is real, the final deal
It's more than we asked for in Evermore, Evermore
