Outside Dawning of the day Sunrise Darkness fades away To breathe the air once more Feel tranquility I see a brave new world Of possibilities And when you hear the voice inside You here nothing else at all Nothing else at all Inside Yearning to be free Blinded By life's complexity The sun's high in the sky But I can't see the light Another wasted day And now I face the night And when you hear the voice inside You here nothing else at all Nothing else at all

Sometimes we forget The things inside ourselves Searching outside Searching outside Searching outside Finding peace inside those Fleeting moments I feel complete For a while Endlessly searching for these times Look too hard then they pass you by
3.
I can’t find no sleep tonight Voices calling In my troubled mind Something burning deep inside Never ending Cannot quench the fire I lay my head To take my rest Stare into space Silent regrets And at the dawn Can’t find Relief I feel the Sun Imprison me But now it’s time To make the change To let love shine Life rearranged
4.
See the light Over yonder Every move I make Brings me ever closer To my dying day Life will slip away Into chaos and confusion Feel the dream Never ending Everything I’ve known Slips into the darkness Life will be reborn At the break of dawn When I wake and kiss The new day On and on Endless destiny On and on Who knows what will be See the light See the light See the light See the light

Peepshow 04:17
We fail to see the signs The clues to our demise The way was never known The path was never shown We live in waking dreams Nothing is what it seems Illusion haunts the day Blindness guides our way

The Ocean 09:47
As I stand upon the shore And listen to the waves once more Think of all that’s gone before The waves will wash us clean away It doesn’t matter what you say You cannot cheat eternity Oh. Waited for this moment for so long From now until forever, on and on The washing of the Waters leaves me pure To perish is to be reborn Submerging in the waters pure Cleansed of all that’s gone before For in the end just what are we? Naked souls just lost at sea Drifting to eternity Oh. Waited for this moment for so long From now until forever, on and on The washing of the Waters leaves me pure Oh. Waited for this moment for so long From now until forever, on and on The washing of the Waters leaves me pure

about

Whilst not a concept album, “The Awakening” follows a loose narrative that tracks one man's nascent awareness of spiritual emptiness, the desire to find some purpose, the often futile and frustrating search for enlightenment before the final surrender to the inevitable.
