The Sleep Of Restless Hours - Disillusion

Imposture!

At the peak of my triumphant march

Conjuration!

Doubt befalls me so close to the end.

Cannot move any further

Feet are tired from the haste

So close to the finale

I desperately need to rest

Face to face with the very substance of my journey

Just need to reach out and grab the gold

Take the crown and be king for a lifetime

But in the hour that I longed for

At the vertex of my crave

Just when I thought I had broken free

I’m even deeper inside the maze

But I don’t feel lost anymore

Somehow I do not feel astray

Somehow I' m not the same as before

Maybe I’ve grown wiser on the way

So I write this down for you to know I’ve been here

Tired, torn and stripped down to the core

And that I’m not the same as yesterday

Somehow I’ve just grown wiser on the way

Thus, I write all this down for you to know I’ve been here

Close enough to almost feel your breath

Write this down for you to know

I’ve slept the sleep of restless hours

And when I woke, I left with the promise I would be back

Fool, Me!

Swimming in the burning sea

I have seen the careless me!

Thus, I write all this down for you to know I’ve been here

Close enough to almost feel your breath

Write this down for you to know

I’ve slept the sleep of restless hours

And when I woke, I left with knowing I would be back
