The Sanity Assassin Lyrics

The Sanity Assassin by Nevermore

Play Add Watch Buy from iTunes Send to Mobile

See the man of hungry mind

Never had a dream to call his own

His sin in form of thought

He lived to milk the minds of the blind

To rule the sea of imagination

And the sanity assassin

Is coming down to steal your mind

So he takes an innocent's vision

The blind lead the blind they say

Meet the sanity assasin

A trick of mind or the devil's whim

On the way to tomorrow's dream

He's fading away

 

See the man with the empty soul

Never had a face or will of his own

So he took another's pride

And he made a mask of faults

Defensive anger and false emotion

 

And the sanity assassin

Is coming down in a stream of black

So he takes what he cannot live

The black leads the blind astray

Meet the sanity assassin

A trick of mind or the devil's whim

On the way to tomorrow's dream

He's fading away

 

Sing your sweet poison

Stealer of dreams

Bleed your sweet anguish

And the form of dreams are born

 

Don't be afraid to

Dream outside the lines

Don't be afraid

Of painting pictures with your mind

Don't be afraid

Your path is not of sorrow

Don't be afraid

Dreams are immortal

 

Rise in the coming tide

Wave after wave of sleep

Crushing down

Hopes of the weakened and knowing

Awash in the undertow, falling away

 

Listen as the tale begins

To now unweave

The will of strong minds

He'll never deceive

I speak the words to lay me down

I am ever strong

Against the all-knowing

Thief of imagination

 

Dreams are immortal
