I had the dream of life last night
Watch the fires burning like a funeral pyre
Took a minute till the embers lost the light
Then it was over

I had a dream of life last night
Visions of a forest fire burning bright
Diamonds in the crossfire of meteorite
Then it was over

So I tell you, I tell you of invisible dreams
It won't take a minute to see what I seen
I tell you, I tell you it's not what it seems
Living in the shadow of a terrible thing
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you why

"Was it only a dream, or wishful thinking? "

I had a dream of dark delights
Tied you up and burned you with the candle light
Took a minute to fill up my appetite
Then it was over

You didn't even blink an eye
Told you it was something to be sacrificed
Bottled up inside you just like dynamite
Ready for breakdown

So I tell you, I tell you of invisible dreams
It won't take a minute to see what I seen
I tell you, I tell you it's not what it seems
Living in the shadow of a terrible thing
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you why

"Was it only a dream, or wishful thinking? "

I had the dream of life last night
Watched those fires burning like a burial site
Took a minute till the embers lost the light
Then it was over

So I tell you, I tell you of invisible dreams
It won't take a minute to see what I seen
I tell you, I tell you it's not what it seems
Living in the shadow of a terrible thing
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you why
