I think I'm standing in a garden at night   The distant stars provide the only light   Strange flowers grow all around me,   their heavy fragrance intoxicates me      Pre Chorus   Reality is slowly growing dimmer   and I begin to see a new world shimmer   It's like seeing through a silver haze   into a weird but beautiful place      Filled with dreams I begin to wander   through this maze of alien wonders   Into glades with ponds of starlight,   ethereal beauty beyond human might      Pre Chorus   And I see statues moving as in trance   with slow gestures, in a grotesque dance   to the mystical and haunting tunes   that fill this place like narcotic fumes      Chorus   I might be dead, or maybe I am dreaming?   It doesn't matter, it has no meaning   in this world of black and silver      Solo Dahl      Bridge   Then this dream-state takes an evil twist   and all the sudden rises a reeking mist   The air turns foul by the sickening haze   Corruption spreads throughout the maze   Malignant shadows with lurid eyes   roar with laughter as the beauty dies   Insane whispers and bestial groans   mingle with my tormented moans      Chorus
