lyrics
(Music: Charles Elliott/Mike Cosio)
Empty as I lay here in waiting
Looking for a sign of life within this gloomy soul
Our time has expired but I will not let go
Inside of me I fight this battle alone
Chorus:
And the full moon will rise
On this world we’ve forsaken
Now that we’ve finally arrived
Let the sleeper awaken
Dystopia your children lay broken
Now sleep and dream through this future uncertain
Let the sun warm my face as my eyes burn with sulfur
Let me drink from your fountain just to die then of hunger
(Chorus)
Pain leaves their eyes
Now is there hope or only a fantasy?
Feel the change now with the dawn
Wondering what’s to become
Expediency of death and birth
Descending down into this blackened earth
Shadows cast to obstruct our view
Concealing us from a shameful truth
Cling the rotten breast and thirst for life
Hear the weeping brood of all mankind
Pain leaves their eyes
Now is there hope or only a fantasy?
Empty as I lay here in waiting
Looking for a sign of life within this gloomy soul
Our time has expired but I will not let go
Inside of me I fight this battle alone
Chorus:
And the full moon will rise
On this world we’ve forsaken
Now that we’ve finally arrived
Let the sleeper awaken
Dystopia your children lay broken
Now sleep and dream through this future uncertain
Let the sun warm my face as my eyes burn with sulfur
Let me drink from your fountain just to die then of hunger
(Chorus)
Pain leaves their eyes
Now is there hope or only a fantasy?
Feel the change now with the dawn
Wondering what’s to become
Expediency of death and birth
Descending down into this blackened earth
Shadows cast to obstruct our view
Concealing us from a shameful truth
Cling the rotten breast and thirst for life
Hear the weeping brood of all mankind
Pain leaves their eyes
Now is there hope or only a fantasy?

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 22 fans who also own “The Sleeper Awakens”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 22 fans who also own “The Sleeper Awakens”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
