lyrics

Forgotten memories from a
Distant past
Our time grows short
Let's make it last
The woods of old are
Calling our names
To wash away our
Fear and shame

Our ancient sanctuary hidden from sight
a place of virtue, wisdom and of light

A false awakening
a distant light
Horrific vision never meant for mortals sight (repeat)

When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade
My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed

When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade
My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed

Preachings from a shattered mind
Sanctioned from another's crime
Searching for but cannot find
Meaning to an endless rhyme

Our ancient sanctuary hidden from sight
a place of virtue, wisdom and of light

A false awakening
a distant light
Horrific vision never meant for mortals sight (repeat)

When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade
My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed

When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade
My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed

When dreams seep into reality and the lines of truth have blurred
Only then you'll come to see the pain I have endured
A splendid view of sights unseen
Not known to mortal man
A place of unexplainable beauty
Remember now if you can
A maddening vision of extraordinary sights
A place so far from reach
This forbidden knowledge of place unknown will forever haunt my sleep
When dreams seep into reality and the lines of truth have blurred
Only then you'll come to see the pain I have endured

Awake
