The Sleeper Wakes

歌詞

When year by year has rolled away Beyond the point I call today And time like dust my pocket lines And drags my footfalls slow Against the distant fall of night When we are gathered to the light And man and beast stand side by side To face the dawning day Behind the backdrop of the sky Inside the tunnels of the brain The sleeper wakes The sleeper wakes So morning breaks and we are free What happened to the man I used to be? We passed the wall, we heard the gate But as I came the hour was late And as we crossed I recognised the guard When star by star is burning low And one more night is yet to go And all is quiet passed away Except the sleeper waking now Behind the backdrop of the sky Inside the tunnels of the brain The sleeper wakes The sleeper wakes
