Dreamin' Nine

Life has changed

In so many ways

I'm more aware than I used to be

Time is changing

From day to day

But still I'm wishing that I was set free

But still I'm trapped

In this prison of time

There is no way

That I can find

Someone who is dreamin' nine

People have changed

I venture to say

They want more than ever you see

The world is changing

Oh no, you may say

Well show me some people who are free

They are all trapped

In this prison of time

There is no way

That they can find

Someone who is dreamin' nine

I have changed

Like the acts in a play

The opening and closing unfolds each day

Our group will change

And all sinners will pay

All this will happen on the dooming day

But all the same

We know we've won

We've conquered the Earth and next is the sun

Eternity is our limit

The sky our goal

The Earth will die in exactly 3 fold

But still we're trapped

In this prison of time

We all hope we will

But still we can't find

Someone who is dreamin' nine

You were born on the eighth

The month of September is fine

But if you really wanted me

You would have been born on the ninth

But I will forgive you

If you will help me

Find my eternity

The dream of a golden sea

My dream of a people free

A dream for you and me

And on the ninth it will be

But still I'm trapped

In this prison of time

There is no way

That I can find

Someone who is dreamin' nine

The months are changing

From June to May

Through snow or rain, in a field of hay

The universe will change

Through a lunar day

And when we are doomed, the people will say

We were all trapped

In a prison of time

There was no way

We didn't try to find

Someone who was dreamin' nine

I was the winner

Of the exclusion of man

I watched the water

As it turned to sand

I saw the rain

I saw the pain

I broke the chain

Of hate's domain

I freed the slaves

I hid the days

I wanted all the people

To hear me say

I was never trapped

In this prison of time

I was the way

That no one could find

I was the one, dreamin' nine

I have changed

In so many ways

I want more than I ever did

Cowards have changed

Hear what I say

They now show me the places where they hid

The Earth is spinning

In its own way

And we are spinning around with it

The politicians are bragging

Each and every day

But what they say is a load of shit

I set the laws

I find all the flaws

I have the claws

To kill everyone

I am the leader

I am the healer

And you're the believer

If I want you to be

Why are you trapped

In your prison of time

I am the way

I, you must find

I'm the one who is dreamin' nine

So come and find me

If you can

I'll change to water

I'll hide in the sand

I'll swim the rivers

I'll climb the trees

I'll fly through the sky

Oh, you will never find me

One minute I'm here

The next I'm there

I'll vanish into air

I'll fill you full of fear

I'll haunt and torment you

I'll turn hell on you

And when I'm through

There will be no more you

So run to your house

Hide like a mouse

Till hell freezes over

There will be no sober

You are all fucking trapped

In your prison of time

You are all too blind

You will never be able to find

Me,

The one,

Dreamin' nine
