Magnum Lyrics

"The Moon King" lyrics


This book of dreams
On the shelf lay between
All the secrets you found out
So clever

So close your eyes
It remains to be seen
All the riches you can count
Forever

Through Heaven's gate
You run before it gets too late
Into the Celtic twilight
So pay the price
'Cause he won't ever ask you twice
The bells ring out at midnight

The Moonking is waiting again
And maybe he'll welcome you in
To ride on a warm solar wind
Back where your dreams can begin

The Moonking is calling again
But never a sound to be heard
So up through a bright silver sky
Waiting but never deterred

The longest sleep
Like a black dog at your feet
And the daytime will recede
So coldly

So jump in deep
There's no time to retreat
It's everything you need
Go slowly

The dead of night
You're saying words you can't recite
A sea of noise so empty
Get on your way
There's no excuse for the delay
Before it's just a memory
