Lilith
9.2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up
Wake up
The world ended yesterday
But we're still here
I guess we managed to escape
The flooding and the fires
The liars mad desires
To shape the world in their own images

So wake up
Darling wake up
Wake up
Darling wake up
Cause I've been thinking that there's a reason
That you and I survived the destruction
So I'll be Adam and you'll be Eve
And love and laughter
We can start it all again
So wake up
Darling wake up
Wake up
Darling wake up
You look to me like someone I can love
Cause tragedy is etched into your eyes
And I see my reflection
A soul without direction
So take my hand we can start it all again
So wake up
Darling wake up
Wake up
Darling wake up
Cause I've been thinking that there's a reason
That you and I survived the destruction
So I'll be Adam and you'll be Eve
And love and laughter
We can start it all again
Well I've been thinking that there's a reason
That you and I survived the destruction
So I'll be Adam and you'll be Eve
And love and laughter
We can start it all again
But only if you wake up
But only if you wake up
But only if you wake up
So wake up
Darling wake up
So wake up
Darling wake up
So wake up
Darling wake up
Darling wake up
Darling wake up
Darling wake up
Darling wake up

Darling wake up
Darling wake up
