Dreamland Lyrics – Andrew Downes

Singer: Andrew Downes
Title: Dreamland

By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT
On a black throne reigns upright

I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule –
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime
Out of SPACE – out of TIME

Bottomless vales and boundless floods
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods
With forms that no man can discover
For the tears that drip all over;

Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire
Surging, unto skies of fire;

Lakes that endlеssly outspread
Their lone watеrs – lone and dead, –
Their still waters – still and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily

By the lakes that thus outspread
Their lone waters, lone and dead, –
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily, –

By the mountains – near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever, –
By the grey woods, – by the swamp
Where the toad and the newt encamp –

By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Ghouls, –
By each spot the most unholy –
In each nook most melancholy –

There the traveller meets aghast
Sheeted Memories of the Past –
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by –

White – robed forms of friends long given
In agony, to the Earth – and Heaven
For the heart whose woes are legion
‘Tis a peaceful, soothing region –

For the spirit that walks in shadow
’Tis – oh, ’tis an Eldorado!
But the traveller, travelling through it
May not – dare not openly view it!

Never its mysteries are exposed
To the weak human eye unclosed;
So wills its King, who hath forbid
The uplifting of the fringed lid;

And thus the sad Soul that here passes
Beholds it but through darkened glasses
By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only

Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT
On a black throne reigns upright
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule
