Wake Me From Sleep



Wake me up from sleep 
Wake me  up from sleep 
wake me  up from sleep , sleep, sleep 

Ooh
wake me from sleep
wake me from sleep
ooh wake me from sleep

How can I burden you  
pure and nature with cries  
Of the  artificial hell  
that man has created 
and named as so   

and named as so 
and named as so 
and named as so, so, so 

Civilisation to symbolise an up lift 
and named as so,  they say,
better than what nature 
has ordained on us, on us, on us,  us 

Stripped of  the essence  
plugged into the machinery of greed 
washers and screws, bolts and nuts 
sounds,  and  false gods, blood of oil, diesel  

Beastly breaths, deep breaths 
of the monstrous creation's waste 
choking on nature’s breath, breath 

On nature’s breath 
On nature’s breath 
On nature’s breath 

And to the end on the dying bed 
what will man be defined by  
be defined by, be define by 
what will man be defined by 

Spat out like the bones that lie on floors 
of the beastly den on retirement 
another pure soul 
begging to be consumed 

Into the machinery of manufacture 
The manufacture 
The manufacture 
The manufacture 

Into the machinery
of the manufacture

Eagerly waiting to replace 
another on plates
of  beastly gauge  

lamps to the slaughter
lamps to the slaughter
lamps to the slaughter

The emptiness of an existence 
with the lure of climbing up 
this ladder of raw 
raw, raw, raw, of raw 

Has evolution been the curse of man 
The curse of man 
The curse of man 

To have lost the essence of living 
if so then wake me back from bed 
into a bird, to a rat,  to a frog, turkey 
wake me from sleep  

Oooh wake me from sleep 
wake me from sleep 
sleep, sleep, wake me from sleep 

Of  a slave to the monstrous beast 
wake me from sleep 
wake me from sleep 

Make me whole again 
let me value life again 
and appreciate simple things
 before my dying bed  again 

Take me back into
the garden of Eden, Eden


Wake me from sleep
wake me from sleep
wake me from, sleep, sleep sleep
wake me from sleep

  1. I think it's awesome that you included links in this. It really emphasizes the referential nature of art and language.
