When I was younger she'd come to me in dreams   Her face was hidden in the mountain streams   Her voice disguised as the sound of the wind   The rustling of leaves, she would call from within      Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said   Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead      So many memories of those years have passed   Beyond the confusion, that thought would last forever   The countless veils that I wore like clothes   Have been stripped away, now stand here exposed      Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said   Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead      In the night when the moon casts no shadows at all   We sat by the fire as she started to call   Out to all who would hear that the death of what's dead   Is the birth of what's living and her words filled my head      Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said   Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead      It's the life that lies sleeping when you think you're awake   Forever is real and the rest is just fake   And though volumes are written on this subject alone   She used three simple words and she brought it all home      Wake up, wake up, wake up, she said   Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead
