about

What if the greatest escape artist of all time (and a famous debunker of fraudulent spirit mediums) was trapped behind the veil, trying in vain to make contact with the loved ones who summoned him to their séance?

lyrics

Break out of that black box
Throw the ropes off can you pick locks
Chains wrapped 'round your shoulders
Never were enough to hold you
 
Darling cross the border
I am here now waiting for you
Can you hear me in the darkness
It’s been so long it’s been so long

Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name

Come inside the circle
Where we sit among the candles
Tap upon the table
Won’t you send us any signal
 
If I could reach out and touch you
Would you know me when I come through
Will you meet me in the darkness
Can we hold on can we hold on

Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name

Ring the bells and
Sound the trumpets
Are you here
Dearly beloved?

Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name
