i am awake now
shake the dust of years out of my eyes
i am forsaken
shifting rusted gears, testing trusted lies
sublime suspicions
building broken dreams from all these years
no rhyme or reason
just token schemes, manufactured fears
i wait for my time...my time has come
no more illusions
veil of contempt is swept away
unsure confusion
a failed attempt at yesterday
all done pretending
that we're content with what we've received
fallen, descending
the fear is spent, it's abscence not grieved
i wait for my time...my time has come
like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
a man i reborn able to see the truth
that lies before him
regret is empty
just live today, eternal now
to forget is tempting
i give my say, an infernal vow
we are awake now
shake the dust of years out of our eyes
we are forsaken
shifting rusted gears, breaking from your lies
i wait for my time...my time has come
rise from the ashes
