Beautiful Delirium
This ballad takes the audience on a journey into the land of dreams...complete with an a cappella section featuring the text of William Blake's classic poem "The Land of Dreams". Gorgeous and melodramatic, it features a female soloist for the first verse and again soaring above the choir during the powerful climax. This ballad is unforgettable! An alternate simplified SATB score (with very little divisi) is also available.

I just wanna forget the day I just wanna forget the way you hurt me The thoughts inside my head refuse to come to a consensus I lay down my defenses and surrender The night is here to calm my agitation The night is here to carry me away And in its arms, pitch-black illumination A vision that has never seen the light of day I just wanna hide from the sun I just wanna hide from the one who can wound me The battle rages on between my sorrow and suspicion I need an intermission, a haven from the storm The night is here to alter my attention The night is here to carry me beyond I leave behind the world of three dimensions Awaken to a beautiful delirium Awaken in the land of dreams Come wander by the mountains and streams But though calm and warm the waters wide You will not get to the other side Tell me, please, what do we here In this land of unbelief and fear? The land of dreams is better far Above the light of the morning star (Beautiful delirium) Here comes the night (Beautiful delirium) And I surrender to the land of dreams (Beautiful delirium) I let it carry me away Surrender to the land of dreams Awaken to a beautiful delirium
