Let Us At Last Praise The Colonizers Of Dreams Lyrics - That Within Blood Ill-tempered - Shai Hulud

Without pretension 

With a sweet chill down my spine 

For a time, the clouds lift, and what I have resigned to thinking barren 

Does bear fruit 

If I am to die, if I must die 

I must inspire while I live 

Alongside the dreamers 

Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams 

I surrender all, all I have to give 

Those who have survived life's thorns 

And provided escape 

To those whose creations live forever 

To those that wrote the words 

Though my knees become weak 

I will cause my foot another step 

To carry the task 

And to those that understood 

There is a need for faith 

And a need for hope 

Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams 

As with the brightest and the wisest 

I know the need of faith, hope, and dreams 

I burn for vision and inspiration, for this is life 

If perchance I am dreaming 

Please, let me sleep 

To spend my time in great Atlantis 

In search of Camelot 

I drink from the grail, and war with the immortals 

Rather than sulk in the ruins of a fallen sky castle 

Amidst the remnants of once 

Mighty colossus 

Comes this call: 

Where are the builders? 

I clearly see the slayers, and the hope they destroy 

I clearly see the thieves, and the wonders they deprive the inspired 

Where are the builders? 

If I am to die, if I must die 

I must inspire while I live 

Alongside the dreamers
