Wake Up

I wake up in the middle of the night

I shiver in a state of fright

And the dream in my head doesn't fade, it

Gets clearer instead

In my dream, people are slaves

False prophets on the airwaves

And every channel, every station

Preaches to our separation

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming

Oh, I wake up in the middle of the night

I found my dream in the cloak of light

A brave new world in my head

Lewd bad monkeys and the living dead

I see power for power

Money for money

Fame for fame's sake

A new religion for the human race

But if all the walls go down tonight

What if all the walls go down tonight?

(Tonight, tonight)

And if all the walls go down tonight

It'd be okay, I would be all right

Oh, I wake up in the middle of the night

My senses screaming, something's not right

There's a shadow on the wall

Doesn't look like my shadow at all

I wake up in the middle of the night

My senses screaming, something's not right

There's a shadow in my bed

I'm not alive, but I'm not dead

Every empire falls into the sea

It fades away from memory

Eventually

Oh, eventually

Everything just fades away

Oh, eventually
