[Intro — haunting clean guitar, distant bells]
Majestic settler
Standing above, ahead of the great sleep
Puzzled gambler
I'm watching you travel into the realms beyond the grasping hand that reaps
Experienced traveler
Do you remember things that are for most too deep?
Oh, comprehensive unraveler
Everything the world gives, you don't even keep
[Instrumental rise]
[Verse 2 — drums enter, guitars building]
Ahhh, what is it that we're here to seek
If we cannot hold onto any-thing?
Come, and go, to and fro
Return through, the place which you came for
Look out, The sleeper has begun awakening
He's no longer standing at the door
He knows all that is happening
The world can feel it at the core
[Pre-Chorus — tension building]
They're scared
Of what you are remembering
[Chorus — huge guitars, soaring vocals]
I... feel like this is too much for me
No choice given, I'm trapped within this course
And I... can't go backwards now
It's time to set this free
No time to lean into remorse
The path has been settled before my degree
Now I must head on to reveal
What's to become even worse
[Instrumental — melodic twin-guitar lead]
[Verse 3 — darker, heavier]
For those who refuse to see
War mongering profiteers of your demise
You gave them everything
And now you reap what you sow
Poverty, famine and hunger on the rise
Caused by the tolerance of your bow
No one to save you from your own highrise
Too late to question why
You gave your children to their cow
You crucified and imprisoned all those who were wise
[Breakdown — drums and bass, vocals almost spoken]
Don't expect them to give you pity
This time you're in the foul
[Final Chorus — full band, soaring vocals]
The sleeper has begun awakening
He's no longer standing at the door
He knows all that is happening
The world can feel it at the core
They're scared
Of what you are remembering
[Outro — slow guitar, sustained final chord]
