Van Canto
The Awakening
[Refrain]
The awakening
Of a morning dawn
Opens up the gate for times to come
To aims and beyond
The awakening
Of a new aeon
Will tell us the missions to be done
An icy gloria
Awake is what we are
Awake and aware. [3x]

In this brotherhood of life
We are the unforsaken
For years and years we had been lost
Today will finally be our time
They build the walls, we break 'em
Recall: to leave is to arrive

On our way, there's a land under our feet
And I know that you will always keep your eyes on me

[Refrain]
The awakening
Of a morning dawn
Opens up the gate for times to come
To aims and beyond
The awakening
Of a new aeon
Will tell us the missions to be done
An icy gloria
No rain to wash away our sins
We felt so forced and driven
We have been homeless, so we'll be
But there is still much life within
We are the unforgiven
We will be more than what we've been

On our way, there's a land under our feet
And I know that you will always keep your eyes on me

[Refrain]
The awakening
Of a morning dawn
Opens up the gate for times to come
To aims and beyond
The awakening
Of a new aeon
Will tell us the missions to be done
An icy gloria
Awake is what we are
Awake and aware. [3x]

Countless nights, I'm still awake
For an endless sleep I wait
In a minute, I'll be gone, awaiting dawn
Countless nights, I'm still awake
For an endless sleep I wait
In a minute, I'll be gone, and I am awaiting dawn

Times I am doubting. Times I feel weak
Times and times I'm struggling to believe
It gets better. Every day
We keep track and we'll follow this way

[Refrain 2x]
The awakening
Of a morning dawn
Opens up the gate for times to come
To aims and beyond
The awakening
Of a new aeon
Will tell us the missions to be done
An icy gloria

Awake is what we are
Awake and aware. [3x]

We're awake and we'll be there
