Wake up! The light is fading from your eyes
and soon I will be left here all alone.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.
The time is near to part with your disguise,
cast off the only robes you've ever known.
Wake up! The light is fading from your eyes.
Will I forgive the multitude of lies?
The angel's kiss will turn your flesh to stone.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.
The air here is too heavy for goodbyes,
pregnant with every sob the wind has blown.
Wake up! The light is fading from your eyes.
Is this the echo of your labored sighs?
The chisel of spirit escaping bone?
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.
The rattle of this dark soul as it flies
away from me can only be your own.
Wake up! The light is fading from your eyes.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.
