ABDULLAH

ABDULLAH - AWAKENING THE COLOSSUS lyrics

rate me

All of the longing

Condensed in this place and time

I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside

Then awaken my conscience

Lain dormant for all this time

And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah

In the hold of a nightmare

I see truth in their words and lies

And beauty appears in sorrow's guise

So caught in the moment

We ignore the passing of time

And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah

Oh, my savior

Give value to these misdeeds

In sin you bathe me

Holy

So I say that the father lies

And my dreams will betray me tonight

Obey the scourge of night

May darkness bring sight

I welcome your grace

Upon this night

All of the longing

And thoughts scribed in soothing fire

The ashes and smoke breed my desire

Abject and misshapen

To you I give all that I'm worth

My swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, can these words be given shape

Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate

I've awaken the monster

The one that exists in my mind

In fear I behold the apparent divine

It grants me one vision

The mother in death giving birth

To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, our savior

Pour deep within me

In blackness forsake me

Holy

So I say that the father lies

And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah

Breathe slightly

Sleep soundly

All through this night

Breathe slightly

Sleep soundly

All through this night

I'm under its spell

I am too small

To try to resist the Ancient One's call

Will you be with me when I fall

I'm under its spell

I am too small

To try to resist the Ancient One's call

Will you be with me when I fall

I'm under its spell

I am too small

To try to resist the Ancient One's call

Will you be with me when I fall
