Awake ft. Robin Olofsson Lyrics

For so many years you thought of escaping

The time has now finally come

But the sting of rejection left you stranded and lost

In a world you were once taught to distrust

Your loved ones blinded by sorrow and suffering

Mourning the loss of their prodigal child

The faces of friends turned pale with contempt

As you were left to suffocate in exile

To wash away the stains of your past

Is to rid yourself of who you are

So if you wish to start again

Be on your guard

You, who've witnessed the truth from within

You, who've strayed so far from the path

You, who fell from the castle up high

Rejoice, rejoice!

You, who've felt the claws the elders

You, whose minds were ridden with guilt

You, whose words were silenced and shamed

Awake, awake!

You'll carry your faith 'til the end of your days

And shun the scripts of hatred and shame

For your god is benign, a bringer of light

A beacon of flame in the blackest of nights

To wash away the stains of your past

Is to rid yourself of who you are

So if you wish to start again

Be on your guard

You, who've witnessed the truth from within

You, who've strayed so far from the path

You, who fell from the castle up high

Rejoice, rejoice!

You, who've felt the claws the elders

You, whose minds were ridden with guilt

You, whose words were silenced and shamed

Awake, awake!

The choice to leave behind all you've known

Was not in vain for you're not alone

Build your own life, forge your dreams

For your children are safe, happy and free
