8. As the Sleeper Awakes (4:16)
The decision is mine,
will I remain the same?
The cost of getting forced into
something that used to be a game.
The fragments of joy,
the fragments of faith
I can still recall when
I feel that I'm present.
I just know, if there's
anything to regret,
I would've been told.
Counting hours,
counting days.
Will you listen,
will you play?
Is there anyone
who can get it done?
Taking me back to the
place that I once belonged?
What if tomorrow
was gently taken
away from me,
away from me?
Awaking the memories,
was I meant to get old.
Repressing the agonies,
start breaking the mold.
And the faith
comes back to life,
still waiting for a
constant thing to react.
But I will save
myself some of the time.
Keep aiming for a
constant thing to react.
As the sleeper awakes!
Mesmerized by the memories that
walk by my side, shelter comes easy.
As soon as sadness sets in,
by an impulse the search will begin.
Searching, collecting
all the things I possess.
Detecting the insight I've
earned in distress.
Learning, finally
I know how to breathe.
Turning, turning away
from the greed so unpleasant.
It strikes whenever I call,
so relentless as I fall.
A grand awakening
will kill it all.
Nevertheless I'll be
my own precious God!
I can't resist
the things I've missed,
and I'll make sure that it will
last the time I will insist.
What if tomorrow
was gently taken
away from me,
away from me?
Awaking the memories,
was I meant to get old.
Repressing the agonies,
start breaking the mold.
Start breaking the mold!
And the faith
comes back to life,
still waiting for a
constant thing to react.
But I will save
myself some of the time.
Keep aiming for a
constant thing to react.
As the sleeper awakes!
will I remain the same?
The cost of getting forced into
something that used to be a game.
The fragments of joy,
the fragments of faith
I can still recall when
I feel that I'm present.
I just know, if there's
anything to regret,
I would've been told.
Counting hours,
counting days.
Will you listen,
will you play?
Is there anyone
who can get it done?
Taking me back to the
place that I once belonged?
What if tomorrow
was gently taken
away from me,
away from me?
Awaking the memories,
was I meant to get old.
Repressing the agonies,
start breaking the mold.
And the faith
comes back to life,
still waiting for a
constant thing to react.
But I will save
myself some of the time.
Keep aiming for a
