Walk Awake

Unlock the door behind a mirror
See your fears coiling in shadows
Face all of your demons

Walk awake through a dream
Another story written behind the curtain
Of the dark side hidden within
Love turned to lust, first breath became last
Fallen mirrors, meadows of life are all in cinders

Veiling pale faces behind the mask
True hypocrites crowning their fame till the last
Moment of fear before death sigh on their neck

Never loneliness was weak
In moonlit shadow of deepest dream

Heart longs for love as lost dreamer longs for his hideaway
Away from this world, from all lies yet untold
Bearing the only dream to escape

Dawning morn smiles at me
In frozen time of last memory
Withering in endeavour of night’s dream

Daydreaming, truth’s deceiving
A purest heart of night’s sleepless awe
Praying, believing
To walk alive through falling pale morn
Dwelling still in dream embrace on your shoulder
