I want to tell you of a place that I recall

Where you're drawn by the seduction

And the beauty of it all

You can step into another world

Of poetry and dreams

In a land of mystery



Images dance, translucent colours seem to shine

They're a ghostly recollection

Of another space and time

I imagine I can hear their voices calling me

To the land of mystery



Where the Russian heart is strong

Like the beating of a drum

Where the magic lingers on

And the fight for truth is won

Deep in the European soul



And love's eternal flame was burning deep inside

It was the purest inspiration

That he never tried to hide

When you see the lovers floating

You can almost hear them sigh

As you watch them dancing

Up into the sky



The world's realities are not to be denied

But must we keep destroying all our fantasies

It's hard to look beyond when terror fills our eyes

We mustn't give up trying to let our dreams survive



I touch the paintings with the fingers of my heart

Like a supernatural love affair that's just about to start

But there'll always be the hidden dreams I'll never see

In a land of mystery
