The Sanity Assassin Songtext
von Nevermore

See the man of hungry mind
Never had a dream to call his own
His sin in form of thought
He lived to milk the minds of the blind
To rule the sea of imagination

And the sanity assassin
Is coming down to steal your mind
So he takes an innocent′s vision
The blind lead the blind, they say
Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil's whim
On the way to tomorrow′s dream
He's fading away

See the man with the empty soul
Never had a face or will of his own
He took another's pride
And he made a mask of faults
Defensive anger and false emotion


And the sanity assassin
Is coming down in a stream of black
So he takes what he cannot live
The black leads the blind astray
Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil′s whim
On the way to tomorrow′s dream
He's fading away

Sing your sweet poison
Stealer of dreams
Bleed your sweet anguish
And the form of dreams are born

Don′t be afraid to dream outside the lines (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don't be afraid of painting pictures within your mind (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don′t be afraid, your path is not of sorrow (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don't be afraid, dreams are immortal (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)

Rise in the coming tide
Wave after wave of sleep crushing down
Hopes of the weakened and knowing
Awash in the undertow, falling away

Listen as the tale begins to now unweave
The will of strong mind he′ll never deceive
I speak the words to lay me down, I am ever-strong
Against the all-knowing thief of imagination


And the sanity assassin
Is coming down to steal your mind
So he takes an innocent's vision
The blind lead the blind, they say
Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil's whim
On the way to tomorrow′s dream
He′s fading away

Don't be afraid to dream
Don′t be afraid to dream

Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don′t be afraid of painting pictures within your mind (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)
Don′t be afraid, dreams are immortal (eyes, eyes, open your eyes)

(Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) dreams are immortal
(Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) dreams are immortal
Dreams are immortal
