[Verse 1]
Out in the dark I roam
Onward to meet my fate
Time's an illusion today
Away from all I know
A frail that is filled with pain
Feeling the lifeless taste ahead
I wish for no more than air

[Chorus]
Flashes of clearness cross my eyes
Disclosing power
The tides will hurry my return
Now in the blackness I see light
I will not cower
I contemplate life with helpless faith
Master of my design I am
Awake from darkness

[Verse 2]
Pages of wisdom turn
Mind over matter reigns
My fear won't lead me astray
I seek the quiet night
Over the crushing waves
I imagine thoughts on golden rays
And days when I'll rise again
[Chorus]
Flashes of clearness cross my eyes
Disclosing power
The tides will hurry my return
Now in the blackness I see light
I will not cower
I contemplate life with helpless faith
Master of my design I am
Awake from darkness I am
Awake from darkness

[Guitar Solo and Piano]

[Bridge]
A broken dignity
An upsurge soon to be
Within these books I find my hope
And liberty, aww!

[Chorus]
Flashes of clearness cross my eyes
Revealing power
The tides will hurry my return
When in the blackness I see light
My soul won't cower
I contemplete life with helpless faith
Staring into a brighter day
I see the fields which once were black
Master of my design I am
Awake from darkness I am
Awake from darkness
Aw!
