2. The Awakening

Verse 1 Moonlight trembled through the grime Like a warning out of time In my hand the black stone burned And the sleeping dark returned Every dream I used to fear Now was sharp and standing near Not a nightmare, not a lie But a truth that would not die Pre-Chorus Something ancient moved in me Like a storm beneath the sea Every pulse and every breath Bound me to the house of death Chorus This is the awakening The fire beneath the skin The sound of every buried sin Returning once again This is the awakening The breaking of the seal The curse that time could never heal Has risen now for me Verse 2 Voices crawled from room to room Filling every crack with doom Telling me what blood had done Naming me the chosen one Family faces on the wall Turned like judges in the hall Every painted eye accused Every vow could not be loosed Pre-Chorus There was power in the pain Like a chain inside my veins And the manor seemed to breathe As the dark rose up in me Chorus This is the awakening The fire beneath the skin The sound of every buried sin Returning once again This is the awakening The breaking of the seal The curse that time could never heal Has risen now for me Bridge No more running from the sound Of the dead beneath the ground No more hiding from the truth That was planted in my youth If the night has called me heir I will meet it standing there Final Chorus This is the awakening The end of what I knew The bloodline split, the veil pulled through The shadows breaking in This is the awakening And nothing stays the same The dark has lit a living flame And I must answer it
