Breaking Benjamin Awaken Lyrics
So far away, I’m dead awoken
And I’m faded, out of breath
Life falls to grey, hope of the hopeless
And I pray without a prayer
Cut my cover down
In the hollow between, you find the venom in me
Rip my world apart
In the sorrow beneath, you find the devil in me
Stay forever in the light
I awaken, I arise
I still hear the call of life
I’m taken by the tide!
Life falls to grey, hope of the hopeless
And now only dust remain
Tear my head apart
A broken life has left me born to burn
Stay forever in the light
I awaken, I arise
I still hear the call of life
I’m taken by the tide
Stay forever in the light
I awaken, I survive
And I still hear the call of life
I’m taken by the tide
Arise!
stay forever in the light
I awaken, I arise
I still hear the call of life
I’m taken by the tide!
Stay forever in the light
I awaken, I survive
And I still hear the call of life
I’m taken by the tide!
