Lyrics The Awakening - The Air I Breathe

The Awakening

Let it be known, the end is visible
And where you stand is critical
We can’t reach what we condone
Descended by the image of the cynical
Forgive us for we didn’t know it laid so visceral
Nowhere to hide, I fear it draws close
Head for the hills, and watch it unfold
This is the expiration of the old domain;
Devastation
We will overcome this
But for now we must suffer
For now we must pay
We have to face this
And so we march
Back and forth
Back and forth
Step by step
Back and forth
Back and forth
Guide us with your exclamation
Will the new world reach our expectations?
A striking disclosure of what’s to come
But after it’s gone, will there be remorse?
Open up the sky
Let it rain down and flood this world of mine
Consume us all
Infect us all with masses of every foe
We won’t rest our Souls 'til caskets are hammered closed
Here we stand at the edge of the Earth
I can see them waiting
(I) won’t look back
The time is now
It’s ours for the taking
We carry out!
We carry out!
I have come to realize…
I’m already dead
