Is anybody out there
You wonder as you close your eyes
Does anybody even care, anymore?
You're stuck inside the same dream
Waiting on the sun to rise
But deep inside your heart screams, for more
Wake up!
The story begins when we open our eyes
Chains will be broken and the dead will rise
This is the moment, we are alive, alive, alive
Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life
We're coming to life
Welcome to the nightmare
A state of complacency
But you don't wanna be here anymore
Wake up!
The story begins when we open our eyes
Chains will be broken and the dead will rise
This is the moment, we are alive, alive, alive
Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life
Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
