Lyrics

Awake Asleep

Written by: Waking State

Awake asleep
Sorrow deep
lapping gently at my feet

Bleeding watchmen
Hard like meat
Poisoned water
Nothing to eat

I met my master
Became his slave
Broke my back
shoveling mud from my grave

Power lines fall on hard times
Suck the loveliness
From gentle climes

I met my master
At his altar, I prayed
For the only living thing
I could hope to save

Oh, I never begged a day of my life
But then Mother clattered down
and Uncle lost his sight
Now I'm a criminal
I hate what I've become
My children need not to see this done

I met my master
Became his slave
Made myself sick
From the crying and the praying

I mey my master
buried his slaves
turned my back on the mud
and the graves

Awake asleep
Awake asleep
