(Verse 1)
Stalk the echo, walk the shadow that He cast
A debt repaid that was too heavy to last
A burnt offering, a scent to the Divine
So keep your hands clean, break the firing line
No cheap stories, no lies that cross the wire
Let this cold gratitude be your burning pyre
You can't hold this world and the Kingdom—it's the knife
Bleed the idol, scream for a righteous life.
(Chorus)
AWAKE, O SLEEPER, from the dirt of the grave
There's a bright light from the Lord, and it's all you can save
No more darkness, no more twisted games
Step into the glare, and choke out the poison names!
Watch how you move now, don't waste away the days
Every clock tick counts in this blinding, evil haze.
(Verse 2)
The body's screaming, yeah, it's begging for the peace
CRUSH the arrogance, make the selfish noise cease
Bite down on the faults, held together by the chain
One engine, one fuel, a desperate hope remains
One master, one rule, beneath the blood and rain
One Father over all, carving through the pain.
(Chorus)
AWAKE, O SLEEPER, from the dirt of the grave
There's a bright light from the Lord, and it's all you can save
No more darkness, no more twisted games
Step into the glare, and choke out the poison names!
Watch how you move now, don't waste away the days
Every clock tick counts in this blinding, evil haze.
(Bridge)
Shed the skin of the old, it was built on a lie
A heart of stone under a dead, vacant sky
Let the Spirit break the frame, rewire the thoughts inside
Put on the new armor, with no place left to hide.
Stop the stealing, earn the sweat, then you give the cost
Let your words be steel, let the weak never be lost.
(Outro)
Don't let the sun drop with that fire in your veins
It's a black hook for the devil, binding you with chains.
Get rid of the rot, the slander, the hateful sound
FORGIVE the other sinners, on this desecrated ground.
Awake, O sleeper... PULL yourself from the grave!
