about

For in this sleep of death, what dreams may come?

lyrics

In the forest I will dream.

I talked to your ghost the other day.
You looked in my eyes as I heard you say,
Why do you live in a dream?
You know that I’m not what I seem.

To die, to sleep, to sleep, to dream. Perchance to dream.
For in this sleep of death, what dreams will come?
Sometimes it can seem that life’s but a dream.
To dream to sleep, what truth do you keep?
Regardless of where, when or how,
What matters is you’re with me now.

I’m dreaming of Ophelia, her eyes as black as coal.
A passion for the darkness is burning through my soul.
Only fools will follow a dream that’s out of reach,
There’s nothing left to barter, no promises to keep.
A thousand years ago, you set my heart aglow.

You ask me why I live life in a dream,
Just close your eyes, you’ll soon see what I mean.
I don’t care if I never see another day of reality.
Dream so far away. Take me there to stay.

You place your trust each day in the machine,
You want to believe, but life’s not what it seems.
I don’t care if I never see another day of reality.
Look back through the years, I once dried your tears.

I believe in the machine, but the world’s not what it seems.

I checked into reality when a man came out who looked a lot like me.
He said, “Welcome back to the old café, maybe not a dream but we hope you’ll stay.”
Dreaming so far away, take me there to stay.
I got lost on the other side with a memory and a place to hide.
Welcome back to the old café, maybe not a dream but we hope you’ll stay.
Save the memories for another day.

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 31 fans who also own “Perchance To Dream”

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

I am not new to Galahad but have lost touch with them after Beyond The Realms of Euphoria album,which still is my favorite release. But this release is just as good if not better. Galahad is one of the top prog acts around. A pleasure to add this to my musical collection. lloydd
