The Ivory Gate Of Dreams: VII. Aquiescence - Fates Warning

Betrayed by innocence

Deceived by delusions

Plagiarized promises

Pale into empty hopes

Ivory towers bow down

In reverence to daylight

As dreamers awaken

In sleepers somber shade

Ocean Waves shift leaving

Only memories

Final traces of hope

Are swallowed in the deep

Despair sends a certain calm

A vague sense of relief

Released from all our longings

Silently we’ll sleep

Hope leads to quiet desperation

When reality obscures the dream

Makes the mind a grave of memories

That wander like the lonely breeze

Whose whispers echo through ruins rust

Of towers torn and dreams turned to dust
