Awaken - Asrai

Wake up little girl

We’re running out of time

I know that you’ve been running

On a long, lost line

They cut your tongue in pieces

Denied you any rights

They burned you with their secrets

And taunted you to bite

You never fear the darkness

The light will only see

The struggle you’ve been into

The gashes on your knees

The chains of filth and aching

The barbs of suffering

They almost seem more beautiful

Than this life

Just let her sleep

On a bed of white roses

Seems peaceful to me

Thorns pierce her skin

As I kiss her goodnight

I kiss her goodbye

I never know, so tell me

The colour of your eyes

It turns all red and scorches

Every time I ask you why

Frightened of the truth

Or can’t I recognize the lie

Can I ever find the courage?

To conquer this and

Just let her sleep

On a bed of white roses

Seems peaceful to me

Thorns pierce her skin

As I kiss her goodnight

I kiss her goodbye

Do I wear the mask of your enemies

There’s no echo of this sorrowed land

The scars are buried deep

All your trails so many years

Still hunting for the things unknown to man

Just let her sleep

On a bed of white roses

Seems peaceful to me

Thorns pierce her skin

As I kiss her goodnight

I kiss her goodbye
