Locked
In mortal combat
As the future shadows loom
The guardian of my spirit fights his way
Across the room
To where the sick majority
Infest the myths of doom
But the lanterns of children hold firm
in full bloom

And we'll walk a long long way
Oh together
Though we found ourselves
That way
Long before we knew
Ah but the way it worked I feel that
When I fly it's with your soul
And when I cry
It's you

I ride inside the purple dawn
Collecting golden dew
That falls from citadels of dreams I shake
While flying through
Creation's key seems just in reach
Oh but then its overdue
But as darkness
Surrounds us I'm reaching for you

And we'll walk
Such a long way
A long way
Together
Though we found ourselves that way
Long before we knew
You know the way it worked I feel
When I fly it's with your soul
And when I cry
It's you

Far across the universe
The goblins of the night
Sometimes corner sunrise
And keep him out of sight
And wandering the crossing minds
Hallucinating light
Is the dream
That I have of you holding me tight

And we'll walk a long long
A long way
Oh together
Though we found ourselves
That way
Long before we knew
But you know the way it's worked I feel that
When I fly it's with your soul
And when I cry
Oh no it's you
