Symphony X Awakenings Lyrics

Awakenings Lyrics

Needless to say, another day has passed away 

Yet everything, and nothing, has changed 

Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky 

Yet everything, and nothing, has changed... 



Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell... 

Surrender my coin at the old wishing well... 

Maybe the stars will align in the night... 

To show me the path that is right 



'Would've been's and 'could've been's 

they waste my days away 

the colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray 



So many paths of promise 

Indecision poisons my mind 

If only I had seen the signs - so blind 



Yet I must journey on - on and on 



A haunting vision torments me 

It smothers and steals my dreams 

I see an old man in the mirror 

cold and bitter starring back at me 



Here I am - at the crossing of life I stand 

On my own - looking down the road 

Hear my cry - answer me 

Still I'm searching yet the truth is unknown - though the night is cold 

I walk the road alone
