The Flower Kings - I Am The Sun

Been around for a while, grown my beard, I'm still a child
Deadends, shortcuts, just the same, I'm the master of my game
Predictable, now you may say, the Danny Kaye of present day
Close my hand and wave my wand, brainchild of your wonderland

Now, I'm at the peak, never forget what I tell you
Never give in to the big sleep, fast becoming
Now, I'm at the edge, never reject what I offer
Never believe what thеy tell you, let's move a mountain

Now watch mе fight, now watch me bleed on the universal spiral seed
The progress lingers, thoughts of man, take it as far as humans can
Think of me your solid dream, catch me floating down the river
I'm an island drifting by and time again your sole forgiver

Now, I am the sun, I am the first day of summer
Never give in to the dark deep, fast becoming
Now, I am the moon, I am the end of the tunnel
Never believe in the dark age, let's move a mountain

Call me ageless, call me ghost, the diamond duke behind the shades
Sunflower beneath the skyline swaying in the land of snakes
Hey, I used to be a king, now I'm just a king of laughter
Put me faith in anything
Anything that's close to wonder
Anything that's close to wonder

I'm in the middle, now see what I done, staring into the sun
You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip through the grinders of time
Afternoon the upstream, begging for time
Hum the words "I feed you, my colorful shrine"

I'm in the middle, hold on to what's mine, in the limbo of time
You think you're dreaming, but gradually you learn what it's like being torn
I'm on the other side painting skies to the poor
Hum the words "I'll join you; we'll break down the scores"

She came from the islands, seen places afar
They said she was gifted, reading the stars
And though I'm certain she was telling the truth
She'd faint when the mob start rocking the boat

In time, your eyes will open, and the curtains will drop
To see we are one, this one that we are
In time, your eyes will open, and time will tell
Larger than life, revolve among stars

She came from a time, time running slow
Transcending the limits, step up to the flow
She brought to the table all the wonders of life
The year of the dragon, she opened her eyes

In time, your heart will open, you'll let her in
To see we are one, this one that we are
In time, our hearts will open, time will tell
Larger than life, revolve among stars
