The Apparition Songtext
von Steel Prophet

[Fates Warning Cover]

When the stars are right and you′re alone
Take a journey, lock the world up tight
Out of your mind.

The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back

Deep the bowels of this black abyss,
Compelled I just can′t resist it, take me
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Drawing near someone passes through me,
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare.
Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone


Laughter′s echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me.
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what′s deep within
Take me away

A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here.
I want to know

Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above the center is sky, cold cold never-ness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars

In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be
In the first is a young boy white dove in
His hand, in the second is a warrior in Armour
In the third is the old man gold watch
In his hand fourth and last
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all


Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't
Dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I′ll remain

White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what′s deep within
Take me away
