Awake

The lights go out, the doors are locked The shadows crawling up the wall The ticking of the broken clock Is waiting for the sky to fall You close your eyes to hide the pain But demons whisper in your ear They’re dancing in the freezing rain And feeding on your deepest fear Step by step, you’re on the edge The heartbeat pounding in your head Pounding in your head AWAKE Your nightmare bleeding into day Open your eyes, there's hell to pay AWAKE The midnight has no sympathy There is no shelter in the dark for thee The pendulum begins to swing The master pulls another string A puppet dancing on the wire Thrown directly in the fire Step by step, you’re on the edge The heartbeat pounding in your head AWAKE Your nightmare bleeding into day
