lirik lagu kurt elling - night dream (live)

lonely the roses of avondaire /
sing as though somebody still may care
they live only for the dream of living /
so come follow where /
they will take you there

i once was apprenticed /
to a man who was living
in the eye if the hurricane /
to know despair

he knew all the dreams by heart /
just like sailing in a boat of crystal silence /
seeing visions /
of the world / of life within a life

in a turning /
like a burning /
came turning /
out of everything stirring /
and what had begun before

but all wrapped up /
in one great godly becoming –

tumbling /
and fumbling /
and stumbling
into bumbling /
and rumbling along –

whirling it /
and swirling it /
and twirling it /
and hurling it /
and overturning it /
and burning it again

i shared a whirling dervish out on the side of a hill called metaph0r- vivace
swinging en route to a nascent solar /
with the scissored visored blizzard
wizard /
gizzarding planets and secrets within /
like an avatar

while meanwhile /
in turnstyling /
and spinning over him
spells bespeaking kingdoms in the dark

calling me to yield /
knighting me in a field /
covered with armies
and with princes. all were signing /
cannons shining /
pennants flying

and when he spoke to me he sang /
and his words really rang –
this child of the knowledge of the beauty of the night –

he sang to me of masters p-ssing on /
of father after father after father
climbing up into the lotus bloom /
upon the tortoise’s back

and of grandfathers /
who danced through their living a longer time ago
he showed me a palace in time /
in which all the talismans
from all the zeuses /
swing upon a pendulum of secrets
in a circle that remembers /
and when asked a question will surrender

every secret key to every hero’s message /
given to every heart in time
but only known to but a few /or so it seems

when i asked of them /
what shall i do /
to see the god?
they only said /
the goldenrod /
which grows inside of
every secret dream you dream /
while waiting for the god –
it-s a symbol from the man in the fire
ling you the thing you desire
is a garment that covers the riddle of everything secretly wished for
and of the world of which you are an inheritor

suddenly the chamber was flooded with light /
hurling me skyward like a meteorite/

when i fell to earth /
i saw everything in a blur
i saw that time was accelerating in a curve

and the palace in which i had stood /
it was flowing, like lava, on acres of
woodland
like a pompei-an mountain volcano /
making archipelago
and destroying the planet / at fortissimo

bulldozing everything down /
to make room for what
was a byzantine /
a labarynthine /
knotty mess of
manifolding p-ssageways /
a tangle of confusion /
where the walls made /
an asylum of baroque

like a joke / words were spoken
to provoke me / and to toss me
nude and empty / to the sea

but i would have none of it
i simply turned my back and walked out/
of the dreamscape/
into landscape /
like a bedroom / where i heard that

lonely the roses of solitaire /
sing as though somebody still may care
they live only for the dream of living /
so come follow where they will take
you there
stay awake – no mistake – dance the dream awake – and awake.”
