Awake the Dead!

Within the hearts of all mankind Lies a silent lamenting scream Gives not to day, nor reality It only gives to nighttime dream For man, he sleeps his days away Though conscious, locked in his head It’s time to awaken from dormancy It’s time to awaken the dead Stand up, arise, give to the day That, you wish for in your heart Allow yourself a new realm of life Give to yourself, a new start Live free, be free, dream out loud Be not afraid to do what pleases Work through hardship, past the pain Give to yourself new releases For in life, you’re not alive, if asleep You must live your days without dread Alas, awaken from your weary slumber Come now alive! Awake the dead!
