[Instrumental Intro] Forgotten memories from a Distant past Our time grows short Let's make it last The woods of old are Calling our names To wash away our Fear and shame Our ancient sanctuary hidden from sight A place of virtue, wisdom and of light A false awakening A distant light Horrific vision never meant for mortals sight (repeat) When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed Preachings from a shattered mind Sanctioned from another's crime Searching for but cannot find Meaning to an endless rhyme Our ancient sanctuary hidden from sight A place of virtue, wisdom and of light A false awakening A distant light Horrific vision never meant for mortals sight (repeat) When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed When simple thoughts become obscured and my mind begins to fade My lust for knowledge and thirst for power has left me betrayed When dreams seep into reality and the lines of truth have blurred Only then you'll come to see the pain I have endured A splendid view of sights unseen not known to mortal man A place of unexplainable beauty remember now if you can A maddening vision of extraordinary sights, a place so far from reach This forbidden knowledge of place unknown will forever haunt my sleep When dreams seep into reality and the lines of truth have blurred Only then you'll come to see the pain I have endured Awake!
