DreamKeepers Are Real (take 1)

Okay, this is some musical fan-art for the dreamkeepers comic. I've seen a couple of pieces of DreamKeepers music retweeted and decided I wanted to give it a go. So here we are.

I also put together a video, which can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE8PPrMG3qA

The song was recorded on a 2" Otari MX80 recorder, mixed to 1/4" tape on a Studer A807 tape recorder. Vocals and bass tracked to a 1/2" TASCAM TSR-8 recorder and copied to the 24-track via tape sync.
The final, mastered version of the song should appear on next year's album, provisionally titled "The Heresiarch's Breakfast".

Instruments used included: Roland MVS-1, Hammond XM-1, Manikin Memotron, Korg Triton EX, Waldorf MicroWave, Moog Voyager, Epiphone Thunderbird Gothic
Effects etc: Watkins copicat, Small Clone chorus, Zoom RFX2000, H&K Rotosphere, Vesta-Kaza spring reverb

Lyrics:

Another world has a reflection of you
To keep you safe from danger
You won't believe me but I tell you it's true
The truth gets even stranger
For there are beings in a sinister place
Who plan a new invasion
And just a handful of the Dreamkeeper race
Can balance that equation

And when the Nightmare comes they'll be the only ones
With a way to shut the door
And now the evil's come and they are on the run
And they are hiding from the law
Dreamkeepers are real

Dreamkeepers have a magical power
To aid them in their mission
But it's forbidden by the law of the tower
To use without permission
The legends tell about a terrible day
When nightmares came to plunder
Now things are moving in an ominous way
To tear the world asunder

What do you get when your enemy is there for all to see
But no-one will believe you?
What do you get when the highest highs have all been compromised
Don't let the world deceive you

A lonely orphan in a difficult place
The daughters of the ruler
Unlikely heroes for the Dreamkeeper race
The truth gets even cooler
Lord Void is rising and Nabonidus too
Is weak but growing stronger
And if our heroes can't decide what to do
Their world won't last much longer

And when the Nightmare comes they'll be the only ones
With a way to shut the door
And now the Evil's come and they are on the run
And they are hiding from the law
Dreamkeepers are real
