Reawakening

(album: A Heartless Portrait (The Orphéan Testament) - 2022)

I woke up cold
I'm tired to breathe the lows
I dropped this soul
Breathe out the old

I'm broken but breathing
I'm still alive but did a lot of bleeding
I'm open to reasons to feel alive

If we keep dreaming
Reshape this fear to hope
Reawakening
To become what you have lost

I wake up alone
Who am I, to me, to you, to anyone?
I don't know
I fought the cold
And the night
I hope these walls will hold

I wasn't broken I was fleeing
I thought I was free but who was I deceiving
I'm done hoping for freedom
I'm breathing life

If we keep dreaming
Reshape this fear to hope
Reawakening
To become what you have lost
If we keep dreaming of empires falling
And new kingdoms rising
To rule again
When the soul is asleep
It needs to be woken

I'm picking up the pieces
Over the fields of crying
Are you offering me shelter?
And am I really this asleep?
Are you offering me a way to my soul?
My lack of understanding is life-long
I don't understand me

Dreaming
Reshape this fear to hope
Reawakening
To become what you have lost
Dreaming
Reshape this fear to hope
Reawakening
Can't stay this asleep
I need to be woken
Need to be woken
Woken
