Savant Songtext
von Iluvatar

Promised her a pocket full of fairy tales
An ordinary future through a rain of endless stars
These first felt moments melt themselves to the trees
Locked away forever, let the sandman set them free
Sandman set them free

Could he walk as tall as other men?
His tired mind had fallen to a place held in the past
A place held in the past
Numbers were like bread to him
A walk in the park some day
A genius in agency
Walk the thin line between hero and fallacy
Taking his words so free

All the while he′s carrying a light along the way
To brighten it all around him, the darkness veils the day


Unbeknownst to him he's crawling through life
Forty years had come and gone away
Temporarily clutching to the colors of blue and grey
Keeping records of all he′s said and done
An idiot savant in everyone else's eyes
Everyone else's eyes

Would you ever pray for me or carry my bags for me?
I′ve always been there for you
I′ve walked the thin line between hero and fallacy
Been taking my words so free
Would I call for them to follow my road?
You'd not last long, my friend
Could I be wrong?
I′ll have the last laugh on you today
I'll walk on your heels as you′re walking away

A long time ago I wouldn't have traveled so far
Keep your eyes on the past, watch me walk through the door
Too young to feel, too blind to look the other way
Lied here gently falling as I burst myself free
Yes, I set myself free

If I could be anywhere, I would be everywhere
That you could not help
