Book of Shallows

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet] What if I would script a dream? And if I'd let you in? I'd be your door out of a stark truth... Leave a stark reality An arrant giveness I'd make you fall to be there for you [Pre-Chorus: Hansi Kürsch] Let Morpheus commit his spark To a stray soul wandering Errant in the dark [Chorus: Ronnie Atkins, Tobias Sammet and Both] Chase your dream! If you don't mind, don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream! When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's coming to life... [Verse 2: Ronnie Atkins and Hansi Kürsch] Beautiful in colour United in their creed Reasonable people Dreaming ordinary dreams Rise above confusion And leverage the weak Dive into the shuffle And then tap into the freak show [Pre-Chorus: Jørn Lande] And Morpheus commits his spark To a plain soul wandering Errant in the dark [Chorus: Hansi Kürsch and Jørn Lande] Chase your dream! If you don't mind, don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake Chase your dream! When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's coming to life... [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge: Hansi Kürsch] May it charm the living May it ease misgiving [Mille Petrozza] Intoxicating, dazing rapture Of the shallow dazed and captured Say you wanna be now Sneak into their dream now Suck up to their love You're the master of their freak show Give into temptation Seek and bring salvation Mine now, Suburbia! Tomorrow, it's the nation [Bridge 2: Tobias Sammet] Wait for a savior Rising from the tranquil sea The book of shallows Bringing forth a common dream [Mille Petrozza] Going with the grain Numb the pain We are common sense Knock them down a peg Make them beg for deliverance Rapture of the deep, they believe Take a deep bow Give them what they need now Mingle with the creep show Going with the grain Numb the pain We are common sense Knock them down a peg Make them beg for deliverance Rapture of the deep, they believe Take a deep bow Give them what they need now Mingle with the creep show [Bridge 3: Hansi Kürsch] Wait for a savior Rising from the tranquil sea The book of shallows Bringing forth a common dream [Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet] Let Morpheus commit his spark To a stray soul wandering in the dark [Chorus] Chase your dream! If you don't mind, don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake [Hansi Kürsch] Chase your dream When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan [Ronnie Atkins] Chase your dream! If you don't mind, don't be astounded By the things they make you do For amusement's sake [Outro: Jørn Lande and Tobias Sammet] Chase your dream When all comes breaking down around it What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan What a day for a pastel dream That's goin' to plan
