[ gabriel : ]
E A/E B/E E
once i have been lost in what they told me to believe
B/D# C#m G#m A B
until i felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free
E A/E B/E E
and i escaped to another world to help the little men
B/D# C#m G#m A B F#m
who make me plunge into philosophy – to feel my mind again . . .

no one left to hold me tight – on the
E/G# Am G/B C
`real`other side but her in chains
E A/E
i had been alone till the madman come along
B/E E
with the knowledge and silver long beard
B/D# C#m G#m A B
he was the first man ever teaching how i could be free
E A/E
helping me to find – oh – the mind and the soul
B/E E B/D#
they’ve been trying to hide away . . .
C#m G#m A
and he promised we’d help anna if i’d help him to
B A B
go all the way

[ lugaid : ]
Esus4 E Esus4 E A C#m B A B
go all the way into the world of minds
Esus4 E Esus4 E A C#m B
op – en the gate and do not close behind
A B
prevent them from hiding the light away
E/G# A
prevent them from tellin’ us tales
F#m
or the end of all they scare us with will be A
B
million empty brains . . .

you’ve been fighting for your soul
A#m B
and sometimes it takes a toll
F# G#m
hope one day you’ll understand
C# F#
what it means to hold in hands

what they call a fantasy
A#m B
it is nothing but a key

to the world that now you’re in

that they call a wicked dream

[ elderane : ]
