The Apparition" by Fates Warning



When the stars are right, and you're alone

take a journey, lock the world tight

out of your mind

The hall beckons your presence, the doors

open wide you're to decide to turn back.

Deep the bowels of this black abyss

compelled I just can't resist it, take me



Chorus:

Take me away take me away

I wanna know what's deep within

Take me away



Drawing near someone passes through me

a silent entity never looking back I won't dare

Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone

As I feared I travel not alone

laughter echoes with the blatant wind

I have passed the threshold deep within me



Repeat Chorus



A voice of thunder said turn back

Tabernacle is forbidden

No mortal dares to enter here

I want to know



Flame is burning, center of a fountain yearning, water

spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire

Above center is sky, cold cold neverness

just vastness filled with stars upon stars

In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors

reflecting what you are and what you are to be



In the first is a young boy white dove in

his hand, in the second is a warrior in armour,

in the third is the old man, gold watch

in his hand, fourth and last

no reflection at all

no reflection at all

no reflection at all



Waters rise towards physical fire, voice says

Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back, I won't dare

if the water touches the flame

forever in darkness yes I'll remain

white dove flies from the young boys hand

through the mirror of the old man, only way out



Repeat Chorus
