Wake Up

Wake up!
I'm calling you
Wake up!
Why aren't you even stirring when I touch you?

Your eyes are fixed in their gaze
They seem happy, looking at my face
Wake up! Are your sleeping?
Wake up! Can't you see me crying?

I am touching your face that's wet with my tears
Tears streaming down the white shroud you are wearing
But why are you ignoring my wails of sorrow
Without you, do you think I have a tomorrow??

Wake up! Can't you hear me scream?
Is this some kind of crazy dream?
Why aren't you responding to my pitiful cries
Will you wake up if I promise not to cry???

Hey!Where are they taking you?
Hey!Wake up!I need you
Show these people that you are alive, these aren't games
Are they consigning you to flames?

Oh God! I'm going crazy, aren't I?
Cos there isn't a chance that I could ever see you die
They took you away from me and returned me an urn
The world burned you, now it's my turn to burn
