The Awakening Lyrics - Dark At Dawn

600 years ago, when the tyrant had to die 

all the horror and the torment had an end 

and man could laugh again while the corpse was burning high 

and they strewed away his ashes in the wind 

and they carved a sign on the castle's walls 

for eternity to stay 

never to all the awakening, oh never lift the veil 

when the blood pours out of the dungeon's walls 

when the spirits cry as the darkness falls 

the torture will rise from its ashes to return again 

when the moon is darkened and the candle's low 

and the mystic cold winds of old wisdom blow 

on the stones, it rises again to flay 

Procession takes its way to the ruin on the hill 

conjuration takes its toll, but they don't know 

a pair of evil eyes watch the disappearing moon 

and can't wait for the blood that soon will flow 

in darkness now there fades the light, 

it appears the final sign 

the withering flower, he prepares to cross the line 

the thunder breaks the sky, the lightning hits the walls 

they have gone too far, an unknown creature cries 

beware the bleeding stones and the final tear it falls 

the quest, here is the end, the caller dies 

the creature disappears in the night, ancient powers are unleashed 

once again to sow a malicious seed
