Prologue/Twilight lyrics

Just on the border of your waking mind

There lies another time

Where darkness and light are one

And as you tread the halls of sanity

You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond

I have a message from another time

* * *

The visions dancing in my mind

The early dawn, the shades of time

Twilight crawling through my windowpane

Am I awake or do I dream?

The strangest pictures I have seen

Night is day and twilight's gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies

You came down to me from the open skies

It's either real or it's a dream

There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, I gave you time

To steal my mind away from me

Across the night I saw your face

You disappeared without a trace

You brought me here, but can you take me back?

Inside the image of your light

That now is day and once was night

You lead me here and then you go away

It's either real or it's a dream

There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from me

You brought me here, but can you take me back again?

With your head held high and your scarlet lies

You came down to me from the open skies

It's either real or it's a dream

There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile (×2)

Twilight (×4)
