a populace unknowing
caught in a dangerous trance

so focused on the meaningless
that we've failed to see what's real
sleeping away

while the storm quietly moves in
distracted and unconcious
lost in a perpetual fog

burdened with hollow desires
failing to see our end is near
sleeping away

now awaikening
into the nightmare
our comfort breeds our numbness

our numbness fools our minds
now they've fooled us all
it's only a matter of time

paralyzed by a false sense of worth
what will it take tobreak through this coma
our standards have all been broken

oblivious to this vile coup
falling asleep, falling away from reason
hallucination of the grandest of scales

slowly we wake, too late to escape the horror
helpless we march in
and take our world away

sleeping away
while the storm, quietly moves in
sleeping away

awakening into the nightmare
sleeping away
never to awaken again
