As The Sleeper Awakes Lyrics - Soilwork

The decision is mine 

Will I remain the same? 

The cost of getting forced into something 

That used to be a game 

The fragments of joy, the fragments of faith 

I can still recall when I feel that 

I'm present, I just know 

If there's anything to regret, I would've been told 

Counting hours, counting days 

Will you listen, will you play? 

Is there anyone, who can get it done? 

Taking me back to the place that I once belonged 

What if tomorrow was gently taken 

Away from me, away from me? 

Awaking the memories 

Was I meant to get old? 

Repressing the agonies 

Start breaking the mold 

When the faith comes back to life 

Still waiting for a constant thing to react 

But I will save myself some of the time 

Keep aiming for a constant thing to react 

As the sleeper awakes 

Mesmerized by the memories that walk by my side 

Shelter comes easy 

As soon as the sadness sets in 

By an impulse the search will begin 

Searching, collecting all the things I possess 

Detecting, the insight I've earned in distress 

Learning, finally I know how to breathe 

Turning, turning away from the greed 

So unpleasant, it strikes whenever I call 

So relentless as I fall 

A grand awakening will kill it all 

Nevertheless I'll be my own precious god 

I can't resist 

The things I've missed 

And I'll make sure 

It will last this time, I will insist 

What if tomorrow was gently taken 

Away from me, away from me? 

Awaking the memories 

Was I meant to get old? 

Repressing the agonies 

Start breaking the mold 

Start breaking the mold 

When the faith comes back to life 

Still waiting for a constant thing to react 

But I'll save myself some of the time 

Keep aiming for a constant thing to react 

As the sleeper awakes
