Sensation returns, as I rise
Up out of the haze of night.
The luminous morning outside
Graces your sleeping form
With light.
The battles we've waged
Weigh heavily upon my soul;
And although you plague me,
In this moment, I'm whole.
Chorus
So, will I leave fate to the winds
And cast aside our sins?
Can I, would I, leave to forget you,
Or will I forget myself too?
The marble stillness of your slumber
Invokes a sorrow I cannot speak;
For I have begun to fail to remember
Why it is you still that I seek.
The greatest suffering endured by man
Is the ignorance of choices he's made.
All that I regret, I have crafted by hand,
And my loyalty's the price that I've paid
For now, I'd have you never wake again.
Chorus
I will stand;
I will breathe again.
I will be,
But first, I must be free.
