[INTRO — THE DREAM] [Soft music box. Birds singing. Delicate bells tinkling in the distance. Peaceful, almost heavenly.] FEMALE — softly, dreaming: Birds are singing… Bells are ringing… Nothing here to fear… A gentle breeze… A moment's peace… No trouble anywhere… [Far away, almost inaudible, a man's voice.] SERGEANT — distant whisper: Wake up… Wake up… [The bells begin to distort. A low rumble grows beneath the music.] SERGEANT — louder: WAKE UP! [EXPLOSIONS. MACHINE-GUN FIRE. BOOTS RUNNING. THE MUSIC ERUPTS.] SERGEANT — shouting over the chaos: WOMAN! WAKE UP! Woman, we are at war! Not with each other! Look around you! The battle has begun! And you are sleeping While the fighting rages on! [VERSE 1 — GRITTY MALE BARITONE, MILITARY RHYTHM] Who recruited you? Who called you to this fight? Did they trick you into this war, Or did you see the light? We're behind enemy lines now. There's no turning back to play. Don't you remember your pledge? Don't you remember why we came? We became spies among them. We learned their language well. We know the hearts beneath their words, The living souls trapped in their hell. They were once our own, remember? We know the paths they tread. They're walking blind into the darkness, Not knowing where their choices lead. [PRE-CHORUS — DRUMS BUILD, STRINGS RISING] Don't get caught up in the drama! Don't mistake the show for truth! See beyond the masks they're wearing! Remember why we came here, you! [CHORUS — POWERFUL MALE VOCALS, DEEP CHOIR, POUNDING DRUMS] WAKE UP, WOMAN! WAKE UP! The battle is all around! WAKE UP, WOMAN! WAKE UP! Can you hear that awful sound? We're not here to hate them. We're not here to join in their pleasure of their sin. We're here to tear down the walls That keep the light of truth from getting in! WAKE UP, WOMAN! Remember who you are! We have a mission from our Commander! And the battle has begun! [VERSE 2 — THE SERGEANT, MORE PERSONAL, LESS ANGRY] Woman, what do you want? Make it clear to yourself and me. Don't hide your heart behind your words. Let us see what we need to see. What do you want when no one's watching? What do you love when temptation is near? Do you want the truth whatever it costs? Or only the truth you want to hear? Reveal your heart. Help us understand. You reflect my heart before my Commander. Help me see where I went wrong In keeping you focused and true. Now I'm your sergeant. You're my private. You chose to follow me. But we both answer to the Commander, Whose purpose we must see. I must examine my own heart, too. I must be faithful to His call. I cannot lead you by my pride Or pretend I know it all. [PRE-CHORUS — STEADY MARCHING RHYTHM] He gave us a battle plan to win. His orders light the way. No more AWOL, no drifting off! We have work to do today! [CHORUS — FULL ORCHESTRAL POWER] WAKE UP, WOMAN! WAKE UP! The battle is all around! WAKE UP, WOMAN! WAKE UP! Can you hear that awful sound? We're not here to hate them. We're not here to join in their pleasure of their sin. We're here to tear down the walls That keep the light of truth from getting in! WAKE UP, WOMAN! Remember who you are! We have a mission from our Commander! And the battle has begun! [BRIDGE 1 — MUSIC FALLS AWAY; DISTANT GUNFIRE AND HEARTBEAT]
