Awakening Lyrics

A long time ago when the world was pretty
In a time and place when there were no cities
Life arose in a flash of brilliance
We've come so far but we haven't changed since

Humans have been killing since day one
Your borders change and your empires fall
Countless lives lost and what's been won?
This world was pure once, that time is gone now

Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
Fear and destruction, we will be

Brainless tool commanders who sit upon the trigger
Spending money on puppets and guns
They don't hear the cries of anguish that echo
Throughout the hallways of ivory towers Mankind's time is waning, we've passed up the warnings
Nothing will change the course we are on now

Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
Fear and destruction, we will be

Such a paradise that we here enjoy now
Many fought to shape this brave new world
Angels and demons are tossing and turning
This world is full of many shades of gray
You be the judge now, are we doing all we can?
Ignore the signs, listen to the warnings

Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
Fear and destruction, we will be
