Abdullah - Awakening The Colossus lyrics

All of the longing Condensed in this place and time I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside Then awaken my conscience Lain dormant for all this time And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah In the hold of a nightmare I see truth in their words and lies And beauty appears in sorrow's guise So caught in the moment We ignore the pa**ing of time And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah Oh, my savior Give value to these misdeeds In sin you bathe me Holy So I say that the father lies And my dreams will betray me tonight Obey the scourge of night May darkness bring sight I welcome your grace Upon this night All of the longing And thoughts scribed in soothing fire The ashes and smoke breed my desire Abject and misshapen To you I give all that I'm worth My swarthy children of the earth, yeah Oh, can these words be given shape Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate I've awaken the monster The one that exists in my mind In fear I behold the apparent divine It grants me one vision The mother in d**h giving birth To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah Oh, our savior Pour deep within me In blackness forsake me Holy So I say that the father lies And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah Breathe slightly Sleep soundly All through this night Breathe slightly Sleep soundly All through this night I'm under its spell I am too small To try to resist the Ancient One's call Will you be with me when I fall I'm under its spell I am too small To try to resist the Ancient One's call Will you be with me when I fall I'm under its spell I am too small To try to resist the Ancient One's call Will you be with me when I fall
