Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once there was a silent canvas
Sleeping stories unimagined
Birth of what if's, hope and wonder
Winds will be named, words will shelter
[Verse 2]
Then, something wicked their way came
Showed a way to the Great Escape
Evoke the worlds, sparked the brain
An ape in awe before a door
[Verse 3]
To labyrinth
To Keystone Earth
To fallen stars
To there and back
[Verse 4]
We are the writers
Of another way to be
We're the writers
Of whatever we cry home
[Verse 5]
A moment alone
With unbeknown
Reset the world
Imagine home
A primal need
To touch the stars
Only way there
To enter
[Verse 6]
Imagine music, dance, illusion
Tales of Dust, of man in the moon
The Sea Lady, Snow, Glass, Apples
It is stories that built cathedrals
[Verse 7]
Then, something wicked their way came
Showed a way to the Great Escape
Evoke the worlds, sparked the brain
An ape in awe before a door
[Verse 8]
A moment alone
With unbeknown
Reset the world
Imagine home
A primal need
To touch the stars
Only way there
To enter
[Verse 9]
To lose yourself
To find who you are
Follow your tale, remember your name
Enter the woods
Tir na Nog
And bring back the Good
[Verse 10]
A pale blue theatre stage
A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy
The play is yours to write
Yours to live
Ready the night by a playwright
[Verse 11]
A pale blue theatre stage
A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy
The play is yours to write
Yours to live
Ready the night by a playwright
[Verse 12]
A pale blue theatre stage
A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy
The play is yours to write
Yours to live
Ready the night by a playwright
[Verse 13]
A moment alone
With unbeknown
Reset the world
Imagine home
A primal need
To touch the stars
Only way there
To enter
