This is Your Childhood Dream v2 (Remastered)

V6

[Intro: solo clean tapped guitar in 7/8, close and dry, no drums] [Verse 1: soft close-mic vocals, sparse drums enter, bass counterpoint under the guitar] this is your childhood dream as you run and run through a field arms out wide grass to your chest you know what this will mean you remember what dream to build [Instrumental Break: full band kicks in, stop-start hits, angular riff, meter shifts] [Verse 2: drums drop to half-time, glassy chorused guitars, vocals warmer] the sea is clear filled with light your ship is sailing through the unbroken night [Chorus: full band, soaring vocals, group vocals sing the parentheses] this is the (unbroken night) nothing to fear it is the twilight of the dreaming gods that dreamed your life [Bridge: drums drop out, single tapped guitar, whispered vocals] dreamed you into life this is the dream the great dreamer has forgotten is a dream [Chorus: full band returns, bigger, group vocals] this is the (unbroken night) nothing to fear it is the twilight of the dreaming gods that dreamed your life [Instrumental Break: tapping guitar solo over polyrhythmic drums, building] [Outro: everything at once, group shout on the echoes, then it thins out] and now you see (see) ((see)) end of time is this dream one last dreamer before the last day [Breakdown: drums stop, one clean guitar chord ringing, soft unaccompanied vocal] when the final proton has decayed [End]
