Falling Awake Lyrics - Act 1 - Tarja Turunen

Phantom voices with no words to follow 

At the mercy of the cold and hollow 

I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence 

My defence 

In this moment I am just becoming 

Liberated from my cell of nothing 

No sensation there was only breathing 

Overcome oblivion 

Falling Awake 

From a walking sleep 

And all that remains 

Is the dying memory 

And now I can dive for 

these dreams I make 

Like I am Falling 

I am falling awake 

Waves of melodies once forgotten 

like a symphony across the ocean 

Never knew that they could hear my calling 

deep within 

crashing in 

rushing in 

like falling 

Falling Awake 

From a walking sleep 

And all that remains 

Is the dying memory 

And now I can dive for 

these dreams I make 

Like I am Falling 

I am falling awake 

There is no returning to that emptiness, 

loneliness 

The dream that lives inside of me 

won't fade away, it's wide awake 

Falling Awake 

From a walking sleep 

And all that remains 

Is the dying memory 

And now I can dive for 

these dreams I make 

Like I am Falling 

I am falling awake
