The Magic Well by Grant Love

Lyrics

Walk up to the magic well
Here to cast another spell
One to chase the myths away
A challenge for another day

Walk upon a mystic beach
Reality is out of reach
Where you are you cannot tell
Thoughts drift back toward the well

And the war rages on as the fires, they dance in my head
And my throat, it is dry and my eyelids, they feel like lead
And the war rages on as the fires, they dance in my head
And sometimes I wish that I could just be left for dead

Travel on an astral plane
Feeling your fey magic wane
Chasing shadows from the past
Knowing they could never last

Climb up an old mountain drear
Every movement you do fear
Looking through a window pane
Wonder if you are still sane

And the war rages on as the fires, they dance in my head
And my throat, it is dry and my eyelids, they feel like lead
And the war rages on as the fires, they dance in my head
And sometimes I wish that I could just be left for dead

Now I need your help [These 4 lines are a bridge]
I can feel nothing anymore
I have lost myself
And this is nothing I can endure

Walk up to the magic well
Here to cast another spell
One to show you how to live
Nothing here left to forgive

Walk on clouds up in the air
Knowing not how you will fare
Lost within a deathless spell
Granted by the magic well
