The Awakening

Hear those voices calling 
There's sorrow in the air 
Falling leaves, like falling tears 
Of meaningless despair 

She picks up the flowers 
And weaves them through her hair 
Her dress is torn down to her thigh 
Her world has disappeared 

And she says go inside 
I'm waiting for the rain 
She keeps the pain alive 
Waiting for the rain 

Ice has closed the chamber 
The candles have all died 
A trail of incense to the place 
She lies in deathly white 

Shrouded by a halo 
The pillow made of stone 
She holds the lace against her chest 
And welcomes in the cold 

And she says go inside 
I'm waiting for the rain 
She keeps the pain alive 
Waiting for the rain 

When they find a new forever 
Behind this mortal tomb 
She'll take the sacrificial knife 
Beneath the scarlet moon 
When they find a new forever 
She'll be someone new 
Her skin will warm to summer light 
Her eyes a deeper blue 

And she says go inside 
I'm waiting for the rain 
She keeps the pain alive 
Waiting for the rain
