Awakening The Colossus Lyrics - Singles - Abdullah

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 passing 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 death 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
