(©Blind Guardian 1995)</p>

Where are these silent faces<br>
<i>I took them all</i><br>
they all went away<br>
<i>now you're alone</i><br>
to turn out every light so deep in me<br>
hold on, to late</p>

Will I ever see them back again<br>
or did they all die by my hand<br>
or where they killed<br>
by the old evil ghost<br>
who had taken<br>
the ocean<br>
of all my dreams<br>
which were worth to keep<br>
deep inside my heart<br>
I wish I<br>
could get them back<br>
from the everflow<br>
before they'll fade away</p>

Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
out of the dark<br>
back to the light<br>
then I'll break down<br>
the walls around my heart<br>
Imaginations from the other side</p>

Where's the ocean's daughter<br>
was Peter Pan in Mordor<br>
no one's there to keep alive<br>
no one's there to keep alive<br>
no one's there to keep alive<br>
all these fairy tales<br>
may I return to Oz<br>
will I meet the "Tin Man"<br>
"Coward Lion" where are you<br>
without brain the scarecrow's lost<br>
in the middle of the lake<br>
stranded in the real world<br>
left in a world<br>
no place for daydreams<br>
serious life<br>
I fall into<br>
I fall into a dark hole<br>
and I can't come out<br>
do you know if Merlin did exist<br>
or Frodo wore the ring<br>
did Corum kill the gods<br>
or where's the wonderland<br>
which young Alice had seen<br>
or was it just a dream<br>
I knew the answers<br>
now they're lost for me</p>

Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
out of the dark<br>
back to the light<br>
then I'll break down<br>
the walls around my heart<br>
Imaginations from the other side</p>

I hope there is a way back<br>
with my talisman<br>
so I look into myself<br>
to the days when I was just a child<br>
come follow me to wonderland<br>
and see the tale that never ends<br>
don't fear the lion nor the witch<br>
I can't come back<br>
I'm lost but still I know<br>
there is another world</p>

Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
Imaginations from the other side<br>
<i>far out of nowhere it got back to my mind</i><br>
out of the dark<br>
back to the light<br>
then I'll break down<br>
the walls around my heart<br>
Imaginations from the other side</p>
