lyrics

Somewhere on a distant star
At the edge of the universe
There's a portal to a world of wonders
Unseen, unknown, unimagined
Guarded by the soul of one old and wise
The ghost of a legend long forgotten
If ye will enter, she bids thee speak
The answer to a riddle long forgotten
A song once sung
Now an echo's residue
No one understands,
Not even she who birthed it

At the Edge of Enigma
The Gatekeeper waits
Mysterious guardian
Of ghosts of stories never told
In the stillness
Of the edge of time and space
She weaves the sleepers' dreams
Through tapestries of songs unsung
Silently she floats above the nebulae
Some days she'd rather solve the mystery
Some days, she'd rather be it
Could she do both?

One will come someday
A seeker, a dreamer of dreams
One will know the answer
Without being told
Together they shall vanish
Never to return!

Away to the ecstasy
Of horror and wonder
Bliss and terror
Alive for the first time unsuppressed
They meld as one in passion

Wistful yet satisfied
Weeping and laughing
Beauty never beheld
They understand
Yet it matters no longer
