A dream is drifting by on edelweiss,
a swaying field and starry summer sky,
Am I a bard or shining silver knight?
And are you Queen Louise or Princess Bride?
Perhaps I'll save you from an ivory tower,
and rise triumphant over monsters foul,
or we, as allies, fight an evil power,
to join our forces in that final hour
But then again, It might be me who needs,
a little help, and maybe rescuing
Or maybe life will pass on silver wings,
without a need for pain or suffering
(instrumental interlude)
A dream of peace is drifting far away,
as crystal shatters and our wishes break,
I tried to save us from the rushing blitz,
but trains would take away my parting kiss
And so a nightmare came to fill the void,
a silence stealing what was once your voice,
Even as years go by I can't avoid,
how I betrayed, through silence, you, my joy.
But now, I know when I should let love show,
and let the light inside of all us grow,
A world of darkness might be all we know,
but it don't matter, if we all stand close
(instrumental interlude)
A dream is drifting by on edelweiss,
like years ago under a foreign sky,
Will we be bards or shining silver knights?
chained to a leader who discards our lives?
For though we dream of being heroes strong,
defending honor in a martyr's song,
after the ashes of your life are gone,
Will a world at peace come with the dawn?
'cause now, I know when I should let love show,
and let the light inside of all us grow,
A world of darkness might be all we know,
but it don't matter, if we all stand close
Now, I know when I should let love show,
and let the light inside of all us grow,
A world of darkness might be all we know,
but it don't matter, if we all stand close
