Lyrics The Sleeper - Diamond Head

The Sleeper

Staring into the dark
Cold hands wrapped around the heart
A quiet war and a hidden truth
The ashes fallen to the ground reveals a destiny
Holy mother’s poison needle trials my fears
The flesh erodes into the bone
Epiphany slumbers at the seams within
It echoes to Shai Hulud
Prophecy rising from the sands
The keepers of the lands
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper that’s deep inside
The sleeper must awaken
For the sleeper can never die
Stare into the womb
Drink the bile and tread through dreams no more
Holy worms will split the earth and blacken the sun
The witches told the spice must flow
Let the voices crush and break the temples in you
And give into Shai Hulud
Prophecy rises from the sands
The people of the lands
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper that’s deep inside
The sleeper must awaken
For the sleeper can never die
And from the depths of the moon
A name will echo through time
As the giants rise up from the earth
To end the silent war under the golden sky
And they will carry justice to the nations
Father the sleeper’s awakened
The sleeper that’s deep inside
The sleeper must awaken
For the sleeper can never die
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper that’s deep inside
The sleeper must awaken
For the sleeper can never die
