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...
