Phantasmagoria

The Damned Phantasmagoria Lyrics
1.Street Of Dreams

If you can't sleep tonight

And if a fever grips you tight

Theres a place we can explore

Open wide the door...

(chorus)

We may be the haunted men

But we will hold our heads up high

When we're walking down the street of dreams

The dead beats and the dispossesed

The seekers of unlikeliness

The beauty walk on and on

With the beast tomight

(chorus)

Down the street of dreams

We walk down the street of dreams

A thousand doorways open there

A thousand voices sweet and clear

Emotions felt with a passion

Never felt before

(chorus)

When you walk down the street of dreams

You gotta hold your head up high


2.Shadow Of Love

Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love

The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one

See the glow of the soul in her face

Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love

A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone

Innocence burns, -yes a fire that burned all along

See the doors about to swing both ways

See the answer mirrored in her gaze

Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love

Every night, every day

I experience the most exquisite pain

A thousand whispers seem to say

I light a candle to you and i pray

I kneel to pray

Now don't be afraid to get caught in the shadow of love

Play the game take a chance or you haven't the power of love

See the glow of a soul in her face

See the glow of her saving veil of grace

Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love

You're caught in the shadow of love


3.There'll Come A Day

Fear grips your heart and you fight with all your might

Into the distant light you keep your vision bright

And the torch of love is a burning flame

It burns so bright it consumes all pain

And while your hand, your head to prey

Fate deals a hand that we all must play

(chorus)

And when the stars go out

The skies have turned to grey

I'm gonna walk on out

Into a brand new day

Schemes and dreams and just a little more

To keep the wolf howling outside your door

And every night, every day

I think i'll go go go and say

That i have to win, i have to try

I have to hold my head up high

(chorus)

(repeat last 4 lines verse 1)

(chorus)


4.Sanctum Santorum

I know its late and i should goto bed

But i can't tear away from the night

It holds the seed of a memory

Its true of you

When i first saw you i realised

The fire burned deep inside your eyes

I knew a kiss would paralyse

Its true from you

Awake in the night to whisper your name

Only a silence replies its answer a sleeping refrain

The moment dies but memory stays

Love like a run our way by

We spin and we climb

To where once islands cried

And there sometimes angels can be devils too

Its true of you, its true of you

When shadows no longer fall

And footsteps can't be heard at all

I hear the ghost of a call

Its true from you

Awake in the night to whisper your name

Only silence replies its answer a sleeping refrain

The moments die but memory stays

Reaching for something thats just out of reach

Lost to your lips and drowned in your kiss

The tide of your passion is now but a dream

Its but a dream


5.Is It A Dream

Stand in a line like a parking meter

Am i all alone

A vision of mine is becoming clear

Its all so new it can't be true

Sometimes the words appear in my head

Sometimes i'm falling out of my bed

(chorus)

Oh, is it a dream , what does it mean ?

Oh is it a dream, what have i seen ?

I know a man, he's really awful nice

He isn't here

We whiled away an evening , maybe two

But what did that man really do

Sometimes i feel like walking away

Sometimes there's something i've got to say

(chorus)

Then suddenly

Like a fly in a cup of tea

I'm stirred and no longer free

To fly away

I think back to the other life

That was borrowed the other night

Could it be that it just might

Drive me wild

Oh is it a dream? (x4)


6.Grimly Fiendish

Grimly fiendish plays the game that never plays

Sing out loud but never prayed

Grimly fiendish wears a coat thats black and long

He doesn't know that it's all wrong

Simply fiendish, a child caught in a grown up world

No lies convince the court

Once a week i could be found on the faces all the frowns

Hide and seek, tried so hard to find that crime could pay

Just for today

(chorus)

Bad bad bad boy (x8)

Let me get the story straight

You never gave me a break

It's a case of give and take

You didn't make me good you just painted me green

You made me part of your forgotten dream

Grimly fiendish, we'll send you just where you belong

Where the children can't be found

(chorus) (x2)

Hide and seek, tried so hard and just to find that crime could
pay

Just for today

(chorus) (x16)


7.Edward The Bear

Shadows fall in the places we used to play

My toys have all been packed away

The rocking horse rocks in its box

A spinning top and corporal clott

Are a dusty lot

Many times i said i'd drop you a line

I guess i'm just a rotten swine

Who takes his time

And walks for fun when she should run

The damaged ones as you all chime

(chorus)

Who's the sucker now (x2)

Could someone shed some light on this love affair

Ans help to make me quite aware

Of what is meant by wicked thoughts

That have been sent

My memory is empty

(chorus)

Its too late now there's no time

And two things locked in my mind

To wonder and look in my eyes

(chorus)


8.The Eighth Day

Dead asleep the city dreams

Holding up its arms like limbs of steel

Mountains rise like mounds of sand

The boiling sea has swallowed up the land

(chorus)

On the eighth day, on the eighth day

Dancing devil knocking on my door

It has to grey that came to more

To raise the flag, to raise a tune

You know they'll be here soon

The eighth day, the eighth day

Hollow homes and gloomy streets

The people next door are looking for life's circus freaks

On the eighth day

Echoes of the midnight chime

The clock moves on but what a waste of time

(chorius)

The eighth day (x3)

Pure whie heat and blood of sands

Two clouds of crimson mists are swirling round and round

On the eighth day

Pools of fear and eyes that shine

The mirrors craked but i know they'll be mine oh mine

(chorus)

The eighth day
