I'm going youtube one for me and you

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more
Like something dear was lost

It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few
Who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden
That is soon to be a bride

The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find

And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back
At all who wait to cross
There is no loss

My favorite song of all time

peace
Love that song and love Leftoverture along with Point of Know Return again two of the stand out rock albums of the 1970s, also I`m a big fan of their third album Masque as well.

Both Man in the Wilderness (what a brilliant display by Tommy Shaw on that song) and Castle Walls are the very best two, I love the lyrics on Castle Walls as well. Of the early Styx albums I think The Serpent is Rising is the best but I still love the song "A Day" off the Styx II album with the long forgotten John Curulewski on vocals.
