I Am The King (...of Dreams) Lyrics - The Astral Sleep - Tiamat

In the heart of the night 

I went to forever walk 

in the obscure eternity 

Through woods and thickets 

over mountains and through valleys 

I left my body this evening 

and forever I will now live 

Curious I travelled through an unknown land 

like the angel that recently had learned to fly 

I left my fear with my body 

and with the ravens I flew 

on a road, of bleeding clouds, that never seemed to end 

As the road suddenly divided 

I heard the ravens whisper: 

"Please come, fly with us! Please come, fly with us!" 

Confused and insecure I stopped for a while 

and beheld the ravens disappear 

Then I heard the voice from the other road: 

"This is the path to the golden land! 

Come my friend, take my hand! " 

But an uncontrolled voice deep in my soul 

screamed out: "I'll go my own way! " 

and straight ahead I flew, to continue my voyage 

and my search of the land of eternity 

On the road I choose to go 

I saw no other men..., cause it was my own imagined road 

and I was alone to face its destination 

What I saw around me were the things I love 

Things that I built with my heart, deep in myself 

The temples I passed were my temples 

and the queen that welcomed me was my queen 

My voyage was ended, and surrounded by the most 

beautiful flowers I stood, beholding the kingdom 

I would rule in all future to come 

As the down of the morning swept through my dreamland 

to adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew 

and to bring me the eternal light, I thought 

"A life is only worth living for a king..."
