ASTRAL WORLD
In the night, when it's dark
I will stand, dressed in black
Astral world
I'm the dream in your sleep
I'm the tear when you weep
And I can hypnotise you with bionic eyes
You can find me around, Astral world
You can see me around, Astral world
I'm the fear in your mind
I'm the way you can't find
But I can ease your pain
With my synthetic brain
You can find me around, Astral world
You can see me around
But it'ill take some time until you realise
The day you'll see the light
I will stand dressed in white
And I'll give you the key
To the Eternity
Astral world is around
But it took some time until you realise
Astral world.
