awakening
David Visan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Into the night
you fled
betrayed me
your hollow heart
and luring stare

My blood
ran cold
then I heard him -
from far away
a lullaby

CHORUS
Out of my deep despair,
my lover sang a melody
He sent a ray of light to me
and saved me from the darkness

‘cause when I heard his voice,
it sparked a distant memory -
A savior calling out to me
to set me free

How could it be
the face of an angel
could drag me down
and leave me blind

CHORUS
I know
My heart, though weary




Must rise again
And come to you
