  Purgatory [3:20] (Harris) Commentary Lyrics Discuss this song in the forum
 

    Thinking of an age old dream
    Places I have never seen
    Fantasies lived times before
    I split my brain melt through the floor

    Over clouds my mind will fly
    Forever now I can't think why
    My body tries to leave my soul
    Or is it me I just don't know
    Memories rising from the past
    The future's shadow overcast
    Something's clutching at my head
    Through the darkness I'll be led

    Oh another time another place
    Oh another smile on another face
    When you see me floating up beside you
    You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you

    (0:56 – Solo: Dave Murray)

      Please take me away, take me away, so far away
      Please take me away, take me away, so far away
      Please take me away, take me away, so far away

    Thinking of an age old dream
    Places I have never seen
    Fantasies lived times before
    I split my brain melt through the floor

    Over clouds my mind will fly
    Forever now I can't think why
    My body tries to leave my soul
    Or is it me I just don't know
    Memories rising from the past
    The future's shadow overcast
    Something's clutching at my head
    Through the darkness I'll be led

    Oh another time another place
    Oh another smile on another face
    When you see me floating up beside you
    You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you

      Please take me away, take me away, so far away
      Please take me away, take me away, so far away
      Please take me away, take me away, so far away
