The Apparition

When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight
Out of your mind
The hall beckons your presence
The doors open wide
You're to decide to turn back
Deep the bowels of this black abyss
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me

Take me away, take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Drawing near someone passes through me
A silent entity
Never looking back I won't dare
Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone
Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me

Take me away, take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here
I want to know

Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above center is sky, cold neverness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars
In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be

In the first is a young boy
White dove in his hand
In the second is a warrior in armor
In the third is the old man
Gold watch in his hand
Fourth and last no reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all

Waters rise toward physical fire
Voice says tabernacle is forbidden
Never looking back I don't dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I'll remain
White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out

Take me away, take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Take me away, take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
