See the man of hungry mind 

Never had a dream to call his own 

His sin in form of thought 

He lived to milk the minds of the blind 

To rule the sea of imagination 



And the sanity assassin 

Is coming down to steal your mind 

So he takes an innocent's vision 

The blind lead the blind, they say 

Meet the sanity assassin 

A trick of mind or the devil's whim 

On the way to tomorrow's dream 

He's fading away 



See the man with the empty soul 

Never had a face or will of his own 

So he took another's pride 

And he made a mask of faults 

Defensive anger and false emotion 



And the sanity assassin 

Is coming down in a stream of black 

So he takes what he cannot live 

The black leads the blind astray 

Meet the sanity assassin 

A trick of mind or the devil's whim 

On the way to tomorrow's dream 

He's fading away 



Sing your sweet poison, stealer of dreams 

Bleed your sweet anguish and the form of dreams are born 



Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines 

Don't be afraid of painting pictures within your mind 

Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow 

Don't be afraid, dreams are immortal 



Rise in the coming tide 

Wave after wave of sleep crushing down 

Hopes of the weakened and knowing 

Awash in the undertow, falling away 



Listen as the tale begins to now unweave 

The will of strong mind he'll never deceive 

I speak the words to lay me down, I am ever strong 

Against the all-knowing thief of imagination 



Dreams are immortal
