3) A six piece Long Island post hardcore band which was formed in February of 2008 releasing a self released E.P., Understanding Goodbyes. The band with its original members left for tour only a few months later in July with, “Thieves And Villains (Victory Records).” After tour, conflicts caused The Awakening to disband with no intentions of moving forward.
In April of 2009, The Awakening was brought back together with original members, Jerry Nedrow, Joe Votta, and Nick Tortora. New vocalist Mike D’amico, new guitarist John Arlet, and new synth player
Jason Bach all added. The new lineup put out the two song EP Mending the Broken and, shortly after its release, they toured. After their second east coast run with Beneath The Sky (victory records) drummer Nick Tatora and Guitarist John Ahrlet have left the band and has sense been replaced by Rich Urraro (guitar), Zack Austin (drums).
They planned to release an eight track EP in mid-November 2009 and to tour it the following month.
6) Canada's The Awakening released three albums in the latter part of the 1980s. The band's core duo of Andrew Horrocks on guitar and keyboardist Ian Tanner was joined by bassist Allan Powell and his brother Mike Powell on drums. A regional release produced by Richard J. Hutt, Two Worlds, came out in 1986. Tanner contributed five writing credits on the album's nine cuts to Horrocks' three (the Powells each had two). Wider distribution came with a contract signing with U.S. based Reunion Records. All but two tracks from Two Worlds would find their way onto 1987's Sanctified. Hutt returned as producer, helping write the new group effort "Distant Light", while Horrocks and Mike Powell contributed the new single "My Only Hope". In 1988, the band recorded final outing Into Thy Hands. Hutt once again produced and each member along with Hutt helped write the single and album opener "Don't Wait for Me". The band's Yes influence was made more explicit via a cover of that band's "Onward". CCM Magazine singled out the track "Knife of Life" as evidence of experimentation on the band's part.

The Awakening Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm taking you back and giving you
Dreams of gold and white I'm giving you
But dreams are born in (Born in)
In fire
But your dreams are born in (Born in)
Born in fire (Born in)
But your dreams are born in (Born in)
Born in fire (Fire)
But your dreams are born in (Born in)
Born in fire (Fire)
Oh sweet one
There is ice on your wing tonight
Sweet one
I only live to join you in your flight
Your heart
Set the pace of our destiny
Sweet one
Why did the cold have to intervene
Oh sweet one
I've been here waiting for the hour
For you
To still the water's tide again
But there's fear in your heart
The fear in your heart
Love
I'm taking you back I'm giving you
Dreams of gold and white I'm giving you
But dreams are born in (Born in)
In fire
Oh sweet one
An ancient trust keeps the dark away
Sweet one
Fly harder now the sky is looking grey
Your heart
A shining torch for those below to see
Sweet one
I call your name, I sense your victory
But there's fear in your heart
The fear in your heart
The fear in your heart
The lyrics of The Awakening's song "Dreams in Fire" paint a picture of a deep and intense love. The singer is expressing their commitment to their loved one, promising to take them back and give them dreams of gold and white. However, there is a recurring theme of fire throughout the song, symbolizing the passion and intensity with which these dreams are born. The repeated line "But your dreams are born in fire" emphasizes the transformative power of these dreams, suggesting that they can only come into existence through the heat and intensity of fire.
As the song progresses, we learn that there are obstacles in the path of this love. The lover referred to as the "sweet one" is experiencing a coldness or distance within themselves, symbolized by the ice on their wing. The singer longs to join them in their flight, to be a part of their journey, but there is an unknown interference causing fear within the sweet one's heart. Despite this, the singer remains steadfast, waiting for the moment when the sweet one can find their inner strength and still the tide of their emotions.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of hope and determination. The sweet one is described as having a heart that sets the pace of their destiny and a shining torch for others to see. The singer believes in their victory and calls out their name. However, it is acknowledged that fear resides in the sweet one's heart, potentially creating obstacles to overcome.
Overall, "Dreams in Fire" explores the passionate and transformative nature of love and the challenges that can arise within a relationship. It highlights the need to confront and conquer fear in order to fully embrace one's dreams and experience the intensity of love.
