Belle's Wake - A Fevered Dream

A dream came upon a fever born in me
Where the lonely soul we're tethered on is fed to the machine
And as we fall down, the whispers fade like embers in the dark
The engine sparks

The shadow waits alone, a wolf behind the door
And the hills begin to roll away like waves against the shore
Has it come to this lord knows we've tried

Wake me now or I'll surely die
Cause we're all bound to this though we may not know why
In the dark we all share hope
That the world will find the light
Of the sun

A dream too weak to carry me to sleep
So the rest we find is written in our bones
The Maker's doubt, euphoria recedes
The bounds of love are more than what we sow

Then a shot rang out
The comsos swung about
And they said take us back
You don't believe you just pretend
And all the gods
And idols
Return to dust my love

Wake me now or I'll surely die
Cause we're all bound to this though we may not know why
In the dark we all share hope
That the world will find the light come dawn (my love)
A brighter place away
Where the far shore waits beyond
The stars

Sound the turn
With all the might that mortals know
Did I do all that I'm required
To ease the fear that's overgrown
But then the light let in
The light let in and reached down through the gloam
Oh I'm rolling with the tide
And into your arms
