The Day the Night Slept Lyrics

From the shackles of the earth

We rise up to the realm of dreams

A path awakened in the sleeping sky

Found the keys for the eclipse

And flew away into the black

Past the Swan towards infinity

And while the moon is dark

We travel on hand in hand

Behind us the earth

Fades to black and disappears

Take a ride

And let the stars be your guide

Until the daybreak

We follow the planisphere

Across the bridge of stars

Towards a world never seen

For now you're free

On the wings of a dream

Beyond the borderlines

Ascending over the skies

Like diamonds we'll shine

In the ocean divine

Remember the day the night slept

Walking free again

Outside the tethers tied to you by death

A journey on towards the corners of imagination

Cross the river glowing bright

And as you find your way

Hold on to the map of obsidian

And while the moon is dark

I won't let go of your hand

Behind us the earth

Fades to black and disappears

Take a ride

And let the stars be your guide

Until the daybreak

We follow the planisphere

Across the bridge of stars

Towards a world never seen

For now you're free

On the wings of a dream

Beyond the borderlines

Ascending over the skies

Like diamonds we'll shine

In the ocean divine

Remember the day the night slept

On towards the southern cross

Through mystic constellations

I want this dream to last forever

Forever!

The pathway down to earth

Will fade away behind us

And we'll be lost inside forever

[The Engineer:] Forever!

I never want this night to end

Will we wake if morning comes again

Across the bridge of stars

Towards a world never seen

For now you're free

On the wings of a dream

Beyond the borderlines

Ascending over the skies

Like diamonds we'll shine

In the ocean divine

So remember the day

And while the sunlight sleeps

We can become anything

We're lost in dreams

On a quest for a king

On solar wings ascend

Imagine life without end

For the ghost, for the hunter

The migrant and king

For the sleepers beside us

All sharing the dream

Would you shatter the false star

And live once again

Remember the day the night slept
