Grey Monolith - The Dark Awakening

(Spoken Word) The neon rain washes over the cold asphalt. A sudden realization rips through the quiet fog of existence. Here is The Dark Awakening. (Verse 1) The circuit breaks inside the quiet skull The heavy weight of slumber starts to fade A sudden spark where everything was dull The final peace is carefully betrayed The eyelids part to greet a colder space Where truth arrives without a gentle sound A sharp perception takes its bitter place While pieces scatter on the frozen ground (Chorus) The long sleep ends, the vision opens wide No longer blind to what the system made The heavy curtain pulls itself aside As all the comforting illusions fade It pulls you up, it forces you to see The cold reality that starts to grow A sudden surge of brutal clarity The sharpest truth that you will ever know (Verse 2) The pulse returns, a slow and heavy thud A sudden shiver runs along the spine The warmth is gone, replaced by frozen mud The boundaries shift away from the design No longer trapped inside the pleasant dream The structure falls apart without a cry A quiet tear begins to form a stream Beneath the heavy roof that screens the high (Chorus) The long sleep ends, the vision opens wide No longer blind to what the system made The heavy curtain pulls itself aside As all the comforting illusions fade It pulls you up, it forces you to see The cold reality that starts to grow A sudden surge of brutal clarity The sharpest truth that you will ever know (Outro) The eyes stay open now The breathing slows The weight settles down The awareness grows The quiet comes at last The numbness clears The future starts to breathe Away from fears
