Sleep of Prisoners Songtext
von War of Ages

Searching for desire earthed beneath distraction
Lord, please grant us with your mercy as our quest unfolds
Against all opposition, a true sense of self
We only hope to discover the very reason we are here

(Awaken me) like a passing wind, I change the way I′ve lived
(From this we pray) Lord, please grant me with desire and let it fill my empty soul

We run from our calling only to get by
As rain falls from the heavens, excuses fall from our mouths
As floodwaters rise, this life is not my fault
If only we would listen to the pulling on our hearts


That failed, I won't give up
Here′s our chance to prove ourselves, oh

(Awaken me) like a passing wind, I change the way I've lived
(From this we pray) Lord, please grant me with desire and let it fill my empty soul
(Awaken me) there's so much I regret, and still your mercy flows
(From this we pray) standing in your presence, I feel I′ve been reborn

I′ve been reborn

Oh, God, heal our suffering
Mend our open wounds
Let your mercy fall
Yeah
