I Am the King (of Dreams) Songtext
von Tiamat

In the heat of the night
I went to forever walk
In the obscure eternity
Through woods and thickets, over mountains and through valleys
I left my body this evening
And forever I will now live

Curious, I travelled through an unknown land
Like the angel that had recently learned to fly
I left my fear with my body
And with the ravens I flew on a road
Of bleeding clouds that never seemed to end

As the road suddenly divided
I heard the ravens whisper
"Please come, fly with us
Please come, fly with us"


Confused and insecure
I stopped for a while
And beheld the ravens disappear
Then I heard a voice from the other road
"This is the path to the golden land
Come, my friend, take my hand"

But an uncontrolled voice
Deep in my soul screamed out
"I′ll go my own way"
And straight ahead I flew
To continue my voyage
And my search of the land of eternity

On the road I chose to go, I saw no other men
'Cause it was my own-imagined road
And I was alone to face its destination
What I saw around me were things that I love
Things that I built with my heart
Deep in myself

The temples I passed were my temples
And the queen that welcomed me was my queen
Surrounded by the most beautiful flowers
Beholding my kingdom I would rule in all the future to come


As the dawn of the morning swept through my dreamland
To adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew
And to bring me eternal light, I thought
"A life is only worth living for a king"
