Magic Lantern Songtext
von Avatar

The light is shining from my eyes across the pale green sea
It plays a memory upon which all things came to be
Vivid, dancing images on canvases of bone
For all my sins of seeing, I have done all but atone

Alone in the eye of the storm
Alone

Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight′s the perfect moment to stay out late
I distantly remember a painting of
The countryside in August, a giant cloud


The children in the mirror, I know I once knew their names
They all are different ages, but they all look just the same
They're running down a path made by my mother as a child
Forgetting is remembering, remember me and smile

Alone in the eye of the storm
Alone

Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight′s the perfect moment to stay out late
It's beautiful, that painting, makes me sad
Like days that I remember, but never had

I hold you like I think I should have then
Maybe we could start all over, live again?

So sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
I think it′s time to go now, won′t you come?
We step into that painting, and we're gone
