Lyrics to Dreams Of The East

Lyrics for Dream Of The East recorded by Manzanera MacKay

Dreams of the East are fading demons and angels trading
Darkness is closing in on every side
Decades of endless wonders mad optimistic blunders

Dreams about and love and peace everywhere
Shadows are falling
They come without warning
Bright years are light years away

Sleep heroes sleep the songs we will keep
The dreams that don't fade lost dad decayed

Closet of mouldy velvet death wish or a madmans bullet
Songs of the dead fill racks on every side
Everything passes flames turn to ashes
Bright years are light years away

Sleep heroes sleep the songs we will keep
The dreams that don't fade lost dad decayed
Closet of muddy velvet death wish or a madmans bullet
Sings of the dead fill racks on every side
