The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Lyrics

For too long now I've been
 Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
 Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
 From the world that's been
 Spinning around you
 With and without you
 Sedating, unkind
 Show you the way
 Deliver and faint
 Relish to stand in line
 Woh, I guess you'll find no one to blame
 We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
 Try to fly, flap your wings
 As you look to the night sky
 A gilded cage in the twilight
 You dance on a wire
 See the piper at the gates of dawn
 Been caught in the mire
 Now you're reaching for the stars, woh
 Dance on the wire
 To the breeze that carries change
 Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
 The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
 
 Woh woh woh woh
 For quite a while I have been
 The one that I thought I was happy to be
 Masquerade at least a shadow play
 No one's gonna see
 Behind the fascade, those rallying calls
 You're afraid to awake
 Look at the sky, you can't defy
 The dark that is calling your name, oh
 You're blind by the beauty around
 You're numb by the touch
 And you're deaf to the sound
 Of the sweet-smelling
 Bright melody of the moonlight
 That devours the bars in the twilight
 You dance on a wire
 See the piper at the gates of dawn
 Been caught in the mire
 Now you're reaching for the stars, woh
 Dance on the wire
 To the breeze that carries change tonight
 You will see the Great Pan in the stars
 The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
 Now open your eyes
 Ain't it what you've been wanting?
 Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
 Endure what you're in for
 You're meant to be longing
 King of the wave, now keep flailing about
 Ah, we're the dream that inhabits the waking old world
 We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
 Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
 Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
 We're the breath you don't catch
 We're the great expectations
 You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
 We're the promise not kept
 Bred in desolation
 Oh, we're the will of the wisp
 Demerged from the light
 Get me out of here
 Take me away
 Take me
 Take me
 Take me away
 Take me away
 ♪
 Dance on the wire
 See the piper at the gates of dawn
 Now you're reaching for the stars
 Dance on a wire
 See the piper at the gates of dawn
 Been caught in the mire
 Now you're reaching for the stars, woh
 Dance on the wire
 To the breeze that carries change tonight
 You will see, the Great Pan in the stars
 The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near
