lyrics

Awake in a place unknown
Forsaken, barren, alone
Have I seen this place before
How it seems familiar
Look into the golden mirror
Entranced by his cold dead stare
Have I seen your face before
Are you friend or are you foe
The walls converge
I'm on the verge of breaking
Claustrophobia sets in
Panic seizes the reins
Pulsing through my veins
It takes control
With a stranglehold
The walls draw near
Pinned against the mirror
And suffocating
As I'm crushed by the weight
But then an icy grip
Rips my soul into his realm
Its overwhelming
Emerge in a desolate place
Immersed in time and space
A mist surrounds the way
Amidst this endless maze
Mindlessly navigate
In catatonic state
The labyrinth inside my dreams
To which I'm bound in sleep

Save me
Wake me from this nightmare
Save me
Set me free from my mind

Wandering endlessly
I wonder incessantly
If I can escape the hold
The grasp of this timeless world
Hopelessly fail in my search
Helpless I fall to the Earth
Sundered by the jaws of defeat
Surrendering to lie and weep
The seeds of death are sown
Consumed by overgrowth
Entangled with roots ingrained
As one we wilt and wane
But then a light appears
A beacon to purge my fears
The fog that crowds my thoughts
It fades as the clouds part
Witness the gaze of the sun
Harness the power and run
Away from infernal perdition
A way to eternal salvation
Revived with a second breath
Inspired by newfound strength
Partake in this marathon
Towards the pantheon
But the journey consumes my life
So weary of chasing the light
I fall to my hands and knees
Into sand as Pheidippides
Crawling across the land
Hauling myself to the end
Look up to behold again
I'm back at the edge of the world

Save me
Wake me from this nightmare
Save me
Set me free

The chariot continues to ride
The fire approaching the tide
As the horizon's infinite plane
Rises to extinguish the flame
With light all hope was consumed
In darkness the nightmare resumed
Abandoned, displaced in the cold
Freezing my desolate soul
Trapped in a recursive dream
Haunted by recurring themes
A fate that I cannot prevent
His face I'll never forget
The sky turned gray as dust
A revelation that I must
Transcend and escape this land
For a chance to live again
There's only one way out
Of this I have no doubts
With all my fears released
I dive into the sea
Desperately swimming through
The boundless ocean blue
Left many leagues behind
With just one goal in mind
The image of golden light
Forever burned in my eyes
Blinded in search of a cure
For the restlessness that I've endured
But at last to no avail
The final ship has sailed
Gasping for one last breath
I sink into the depths

Save me
Wake me from this nightmare
Save me
Set me free
