and here i came last night
was it a waking dream in me ?
the spiral staircase led to places so unknown
and out of a clear sky falling
i'm searching high and low for hold
right on the brink of ruin
[chorus]
if i could hear your calls
reflected to the nines
revealing precious memories
the whispering gallery
the place of mystery
in echoes from a silent sea
and there the shadows danced
before i heard the clarion call
in their centennial desperation i won't fall
shaken to their foundations
a mereghost of their former selves
well nigh they've gone to glory
[chorus]
there's a sign in constant glory
will it be my guiding star
on the floatbridge to forever
i can go on so far
this alluring jack o' lantern
and the relics of the past
leading on to your decay
the pendulum swings so fast
[bridge]
on the gateway to your mind
on the flare path of your magnificient
prettifying dreams
it's the touchstone of mankind
it's the only truth to find
