The Awakening

This is your wakeup call.

Yeeeeeaaahhhhh!!! Sing with me!! C'mon!!

Something hit me like a falling star
Set my chest on fire, left a burning scar
The sky went dark but I could feel the light
A heartbeat in my chest that wasn't mine

I didn't ask for this, I didn't pray
But something ancient found me anyway
Nothing is going to be the same

WAKE UP!
WE'RE NOT DEAD!
WAKE UP!
This isn't an ending, it's a beginning
The old world's gone, let it fall away
Something's alive that they couldn't kill
A thousand years and it's burning still

WAKE UP!
We were chosen to stand
On that side of history
To be the fire, to be the light
To carry love through the COLD night

This is an awakening
So wake up, wake up
This is an awakening
You've been sleeping long enough

Everything I swore to just went blind
A stranger's heartbeat tangled up in mine
They said the enemy would burn me down
But she's the only warmth that I have found

They said love divides, love destroys
I said love's the only thing worth the noise

WAKE UP!
LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN!
WAKE UP!
This isn't an ending, it's a beginning
The old world's gone, let it fall away
Something's alive that they couldn't kill
A thousand years and it's burning still

WAKE! YEAH!
We were chosen to stand
On that side of history
To be the fire, to be the light
To carry love through the longest of nights

This is an awakening
So wake up, wake up
This is an awakening
You've been sleeping long enough

For a thousand years they kept you caged
For a thousand years love burned and raged
For a little girl who never kneeled
Whose fire was the last thing they could steal
I NEED YOU LOUDER! SING WITH ME!

WAKE UP! WAKE THE FUCK UP!
DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!
WAKE UP!
This isn't an ending, it's a beginning
The old world's gone, let it fall away
Something's alive that they couldn't kill
A thousand years and it's burning still
WAKE UP! MAKE A STAND!
We were CHOSEN to be
On that side of history
To be the fire, to be the light
To carry love through the LONGEST NIGHT
This is an awakening
So WAKE UP, WAKE UP
This is an awakening
YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING LONG ENOUGH

Wake up... wake up... wake up...
