The Kingdom of Peter PanA Poem by DoormanDanLive life while you still can, before the diamonds in the sky cease to beThe Kingdom of Peter Pan We live in a world of sanguine sunsets That could come crashing down at any moment But still we breathe and fear flows on every breath This place has become a palace of forgotten names So rise and stand, it's time to join the valiant Who're unafraid to live a life of few regrets At your fingertips is the kingdom of Peter Pan Dance among the faeries while you still can Welcome to the carnival, the eternal festival One day we'll all finish our final act and take one last bow So abandon those boring card tricks, play with real magic now Since the day you were born you've held the wizard's wand Most of us don't realize what we've got until the day it's gone As you wait in line for the Dead Man's Opera And look back at every single thing you've done Your memories will only hum lamentable cradlesongs If you don't complete every crusade that you want So rise and stand face to face with the Kraken Don't be afraid to live fully until the end On this very day, fly away with the griffins Of you fantasies, through a sky of zeppelins Welcome to the carnival, the eternal festival One day we'll all finish our final act and take one last bow So abandon those boring card tricks, play with real magic now Since the day you were born you've held the wizard's wand Most of us don't realize what we've got until the day it's gone So rise and stand with the gods of Mount Olympus Don't be afraid to live fully until the end Welcome to the carnival, the eternal festival One day we'll all finish our final act and take one last bow So abandon those boring card tricks, play with real magic now Since the day you were born you've held the wizard's wand Most of us don't realize what we've got until the day it's gone At you fingertips is the kingdom of Peter Pan Dance among the faeries while you still can © 2014 DoormanDanAuthor's Note
