Wake up Dead |
When I was younger |
She’d come to me in dreams |
Her face was hidden |
In the mountain streams |
Her voice disguised |
As the sound of the wind |
The rustling of leaves |
She would call from within |
Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said |
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead |
So many memories |
Of those years have passed |
Beyond the confusion |
That [ thought would last forever |
The countless veils |
That I wore like clothes |
Have been stripped away |
Now [ stand here exposed |
In the night when the moon |
Casts no shadows at all |
We sat by the fire |
As she started to call |
Out to all who would hear |
That the death of what’s dead |
Is the birth of what’s living |
And her words filled my head |
It’s the life that lies sleeping |
When you think you’re awake |
Forever is real |
And the rest is just fake |
And though volumes are written |
On this subject alone |
She used three simple words |
And she brought it all home |
