Just the beginning of the story. Hold on Sheris (main character) ============================== [Verse 1] It was an ordinary evening... Just one among so many... Another ordinary day. A pile of books, ink stains along the lines upon my hands, A pencil idly resting between my fingers, While my eyes caressed the letters My weary mind could no longer comprehend... [Pre-Chorus] And then... an ancient letter... Penned by the hand of a madman, In flourishes and elaborate script... ...my whisper... [Chorus] Oh, what a radiance! Waking, not dreaming! And symbols dance around and round! Oh, what a radiance! Dreaming, not waking! A mesmerizing spell... And something brushing against my wrist... A fleeting touch... A blink... And the light... Went out... [Verse 2] That night, when my mind Sank into a slumbering reverie, As though in an ordinary dream... A multitude of stairs, ascending ever higher, The spine of the world, a river of souls, a door... Is this the truth, or am I dreaming once more...? [Pre-Chorus] That an ancient letter, Penned by the hand of a madman, In a dialect unknown, Had brought all this to pass... No one knew [Chorus] Oh, what a world! Waking, not dreaming! And they are moving, round and round! Oh, what a world! Dreaming, not waking! A mesmerizing spell... And a strange tightness within my chest... A fleeting touch... A blink... And the world... Went dark... [Bridge] I woke with a start... Could it all have been a dream? The same old room, the same old pile of books, And the clock still counting out the hours... I rubbed my eyes, And looked around the room. Everything was just as it had been, As though nothing had ever happened... And yet... A pencil on the table, A trace of ink upon my hand, But the parchment... where's the parchment? It's gone, and yet... [Final Chorus] This ordinary world! Waking, not dreaming! And I keep moving, round and round! This ordinary world! Dreaming, not waking! The radiance of everyday life... And a strange tightness within my chest... A fleeting touch... A blink... And the world... [Outro] ...Where am I...? [End]
