I Am the King (... Of Dreams)

In the heat of the night

I went to forever walk

In the obscure eternity

Through woods and thickets, over mountains and through valleys

I left my body this evening

And forever I will now live

Curious, I travelled through an unknown land

Like the angel that had recently learned to fly

I left my fear with my body

And with the ravens I flew on a road

Of bleeding clouds that never seemed to end

As the road suddenly divided

I heard the ravens whisper

"Please come, fly with us

Please come, fly with us"

Confused and insecure

I stopped for a while

And beheld the ravens disappear

Then I heard a voice from the other road

"This is the path to the golden land

Come, my friend, take my hand"

But an uncontrolled voice

Deep in my soul screamed out

"I'll go my own way"

And straight ahead I flew

To continue my voyage

And my search of the land of eternity

On the road I chose to go, I saw no other men

'Cause it was my own-imagined road

And I was alone to face its destination

What I saw around me were things that I love

Things that I built with my heart

Deep in myself

The temples I passed were my temples

And the queen that welcomed me was my queen

Surrounded by the most beautiful flowers

Beholding my kingdom I would rule in all the future to come

As the dawn of the morning swept through my dreamland

To adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew

And to bring me eternal light, I thought

"A life is only worth living for a king"
