Flying too close to the sun on wings of feathers and wax
The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling
The sun slowly disappears in a blood red sea
The moon casts a silver veil, it’s eyes are upon me
The earth turns a ghostly pale, it sighs with the breeze

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve thought about you
Those dreams, the visions I’ve seen are locked in the past
But time can still shed a light, through darkness and shadows
Your ghost calls to me every night, and I must obey

I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken
The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken
My dreams are the only escape, as they lie in waiting
The screaming of souls at night, I dare not awaken

What draws a man to the dark when light’s all around him?
Like flying too close to the sun, it burns through his soul

I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken
The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken
I wander down these darkened halls, old memories lie waiting
They hide like a thief in the night, I dare not awake them

The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling
The clouds trace across the sky, they follow the breeze
