Dreameater (Variations) Lyrics

When the day has finally ended

When the shadows earn their keep

I will find you deep in slumber

Lost in dreamland fast asleep

Lost in dreamland fast asleep

Dancing in the roadside tavern

Laughing drinking filled with glee

Too transfixed to see me coming

So much joy to nourish me

So much joy to nourish me

Suddenly the scenery changes

Drifting far from my embrace

Who knows where you've wandered off to

I look forward to the chase

I look forward to the chase

Faces flash in fleeting pictures

Memories of life gone by

Deeper in your dreams we travel

Where nobody hears you cry

Where nobody hears you cry

Resting in the shade of mountains

Sitting at the riverbend

Here is where you find quiescence

Here is where you meet your end

Here is where you meet your end

I approach you unsuspecting

Try and fail to form a scream

Nowhere left for you to run to

Time for me to eat your dreams

Time for me to eat your dreams

Powerless to stop my hunger

Ill-equipped to understand

I have left your mind in ruins

May my memory be a brand

May my memory be a brand
