lyrics

i'm reading the glowing skulls in the library building
the girl librarian listens to the dreams i'm distilling
everyone is devoid of mind
pupils being stabbed half blind
stay clear from the sun - read the dreams and slow down
in this town

the horn resounds its notes and the unicorns gather
i watch their golden fur in the autumn weather
standing by the river bend
younger ones eat from my hand
unaware of the waiting snow in the sky
they will die

reading old dreams on and on
without my memories and my shadow is gone
unicorns grazing along the wall
you're void of mind cannot recall
who you are

i'm reading the dreams - with scarred eyes
- and deprived of my shadow
i've lost my memories - i am functioning well though
i think that we have met before
somewhere when we had much more
a love however much is wished
cannot always exist

once was another time but now i am captured in this city
i'm fond of all the golden beasts - the librarian is pretty
the wall which the town surrounds
dying shadows on the grounds
no one hates - nobody loves - no one minds
in the end of the world

reading old dreams on and on
without my memories and my shadow is gone
unicorns grazing along the wall
you're void of mind cannot recall
who you are
