Abdullah - Awakening The Colossus Lyrics
All of the longingCondensed in this place and timeI invoke you, O spirits, crawl insideThen awaken my conscienceLain dormant for all this timeAnd feed the despair that pervades my life, yeahIn the hold of a nightmareI see truth in their words and liesAnd beauty appears in sorrow's guiseSo caught in the momentWe ignore the passing of timeAnd mistake the empty for the sublime, yeahOh, my saviorGive value to these misdeedsIn sin you bathe meHolySo I say that the father liesAnd my dreams will betray me tonightObey the scourge of nightMay darkness bring sightI welcome your graceUpon this nightAll of the longingAnd thoughts scribed in soothing fireThe ashes and smoke breed my desireAbject and misshapenTo you I give all that I'm worthMy swarthy children of the earth, yeahOh, can these words be given shapeOh, does the fool acknowledge fateI've awaken the monsterThe one that exists in my mindIn fear I behold the apparent divineIt grants me one visionThe mother in death giving birthTo the swarthy children of the earth, yeahOh, our saviorPour deep within meIn blackness forsake meHolySo I say that the father liesAnd my dreams will betray me tonight, yeahBreathe slightlySleep soundlyAll through this nightBreathe slightlySleep soundlyAll through this nightI'm under its spellI am too smallTo try to resist the Ancient One's callWill you be with me when I fallI'm under its spellI am too smallTo try to resist the Ancient One's callWill you be with me when I fallI'm under its spellI am too smallTo try to resist the Ancient One's callWill you be with me when I fall
