Chapter V & Infirium - The Dream State lyrics

Prepare yourselves to enter the dream state

We begin in the waking world
As if your dreams have no effect upon the choices you make
Your loves, your wars
As if your waking lives are all that matter
But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes

(Dreams) - a symbol of transformation
Of life, death, and rebirth (rebirth [3x])

(Enter my realm) [2x]
Enter my realm

The three who are one
Fears, dreams, and nightmares

(Close your eyes)

Your loves, your wars
As if your waking lives are all that matter
But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes
And enter my realm

A symbol of transformation
Of life, death, and rebirth
But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes
(Enter my realm) [3x]
And enter my realm

A nightmare's purpose is to reveal a dreamer's fears
That they may face them
Perhaps a few thousand years in the darkness will reveal your fears

I have a theory
When a human is at the center of the dreaming,
Is it not to remind us that we exist because humans dream
Not the other way around
