Silent Lucidity Songtext
von Queensrÿche

Hush now, don′t you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over
Or has it just begun?

There′s a place I'd like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax, child, you were there
But only didn't realize, and you were scared

It′s a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind


Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension

(I) will be watching over you
(I) I′m gonna help you see it through
(I) will protect you in the night
(I) am smiling next to you in silent lucidity

Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense (don't be scared)
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control

(Control)
(How is it, then, better?)
Dream control (help me)
Dream control (help me)
Dream control (help me)
Dream control (help me)

If you open your mind for me
You won′t rely on open eyes to see
The walls you've built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin


Living twice at once, you learn
You′re safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide? But

(I) will be watching over you
(I) I′m gonna help you see it through
(I) will protect you in the night
(I) am smiling next to you
