THE BEAST

THE CROSSROAD Awake even though fast asleep Occupied by a thought so deep When fantasies become reality And realities turn to fantasies A thought so very deep Pre-Chorus Am I fast asleep or wide-awake? What surrounds me am I aware? Is it a reality or is it my fantasy That I happen to be what I can’t be Sense and see the make believe At a crossroad I'm standing Strange mist just keeps thickening Where every single road’s end Leads to another’s beginning Talking to and cursing my own self But my ears seem totally deaf Mind's boggled, my soul so twisted In the book of dreams, none of mine Were ever even listed It’s been a long and tiring road And no Merlin to save my soul Am I lost, frightened or lonely? Will I find my tranquility? At the end of it all At a crossroad I'm standing Strange mist just keeps thickening Where every single road’s end Leads to another’s beginning Like roots sinking in my existence Like claws ripping my flesh Perseverance's running short of breath My Perseverance's running short of breath So short of breath! (X 4) When it's all said & done, Will you take me home? Will someone take me home? And lay me to rest Lay me to rest… At a crossroad I'm standing Strange mist just keeps thickening Where every single road’s end Leads to another’s beginning
