Sleeper Awake Lyrics - Ayreon

[A. METAMORPHOSIS] 

"For the first time during my journey, the Migrator communicates with me. He speaks to me 

directly, but without words. The Migrator tells me that my corporeal body inside the 

Dream Sequencer has died. While my body will now sleep forever, my conciousness must 

awake to eternity that lays before me ... for I am the new Migrator!" 

[B. SLEEPER AWAKE] 

[Ian Parry, Lana Lane] 

Atomically into existence 

A creator of life was born 

This universal migrator 

In his celestial form 

Astronomical segmentation 

A division from which I came 

To go forth with a task bestowed me 

And seek out new worlds for all 

Fly up into the skies 

A sea of blue has crossed thine eyes 

A quest to save mankind is made 

Just one earthly being his soul shall remain 

My power of thought calls you 

Sleeper...sleeper awake, oh you sleeper 

Open your mind hear me sleeper 

Sleeper awake, come alive 

Our spirits they can never die 

Sleeper...sleeper awake, oh you sleeper 

Dormant inside, hear me sleeper 

Sleeper awake, come alive 

Your body is dead not your mind 

A cataclysmic end for many 

Annihilated Earth to the core 

But one soul survives in stasis 

A colonists spirit the source 

You're the one not I, the chosen 

With visions, a bright new dawn 

To cross the starlit systems 

A place where new planets are born 

Rise up, you must awake 

The here and now shall separate 

The body frees the soul and mind 

Your spirit will join me in time 

Sleeper awake there's a world waiting for you to find!
