There's a world outside

Full of hate, full of pain

Where my demons hide

Without shame, without a trace

And I can see their eyes

Look at me like I'm a slave

They said to fall in line

But I won't follow the wave

Breaking my heart or taming the flames?

Chasing the sun or waiting for rain?

And I'm bouncing off the walls they made

I can run, flying high

But I will not escape

I'm different

They're checking on it, choking me

The enemy

The black one in a heard of sheep

Because I know

Lost in my afterglow

The last to fall

I'm the last to fall

My mind is a labyrinth

Something hard to figure out

Take a look just inside of me, yeah

I'll never be what they want me to become, no

Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming

It's the showdown

Even if they're made to break me

I would never, could never bow down

It's written in my DNA

Am I lost? Am I insane?

Maybe they need someone to blame

To feel less inhumane

Just a virus that should be erased

Drowing me down 'till I asphyxiate

Staring into the void of a world that I cannot hold

Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but I'm sure of what I know

A place where hate is gonna rise and love is going to burn

Where stupid men outshine the stars just to get a fucking crown

Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming

It's the showdown

The stars will rise again from the abscence of light we're facing

See, I could turn the tide

But this weight on my shoulders is even heavier than before

More than you could ever know

But even if they're breaking me

I would never, could never bow down

"Why so anxious? Take this medicine"

Will I feel alright or be pushed to the edge?

All this darkness taking over me

Beneath the surface, holding my last breath

They're breaking down everything I am

Saying I'm crazy, but they can't really tell

I'm gonna face the darkness 'till the pain comes to an end

Rising from the ashes of something they've never been

Welcome to the awakening

Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming

I'll fight until the end

Until the pain comes to an end

Watch me come alive

I'm here to turn the tide

Even if I'm broken

I have never, I've never bowed down
