Wake Up Dead

When I was younger she'd come to me in dreams

Her face was hidden in the mountain streams

Her voice disguised as the sound of the wind

The rustling of leaves, she would call from within



Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead



So many memories of those years have passed

Beyond the confusion, that thought would last forever

The countless veils that I wore like clothes

Have been stripped away, now stand here exposed



Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead



In the night when the moon casts no shadows at all

We sat by the fire as she started to call

Out to all who would hear that the death of what's dead

Is the birth of what's living and her words filled my head



Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead



It's the life that lies sleeping when you think you're awake

Forever is real and the rest is just fake

And though volumes are written on this subject alone

She used three simple words and she brought it all home



Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead
