Lyrics:
Sometimes a film,
Sometimes a photograph...
Sometimes a rose,
Sometimes a looking glass...
Enchanter of souls
Your dreams still unfold...
Sometimes a child,
Sometimes a tragedy...
Sometimes a truth,
Sometimes a fantasy...
Enchanter of souls
Your dreams still unfold...
Sign your name with a star...
It's all a game,
Only a pantomine...
A deadly parade,
Sadly to end divine...
Enchanter of souls
Your dreams still unfold
Sign your name with a star...
