Close your eyes and dream 
There is nothing here to live 
Islands are the place of dreams 
Dreams are the Islands of the mind 
Is heaven the realization of dreams 
And hell the loss of them 
I wonder if death is the key 
I wonder if life is pain of dreams unfulfilled 
Dreams will never live in me 
Life will never be a dream 
So surreal dreams are best 
I know they are not reality 
Wrapped in love I dream 
Wrapped in steel I live 
Freed of pain I sleep 
Full of pain I go on 
Fly into the fog, dive into the mist 
Swim into the surf of tides 
Run through the fire and smoke 
Stop in the center and be consumed 
Live with me or die with me 
Laugh with me or cry with me 
You only knew what I gave 
You only felt the pain of lies 
My joy was in knowing you 
In my mind on my Island of dreams 
In the prison of my mind 
In the guardian of my life and my heart
