Waking Up Now Song Lyrics are added here, while you can listen to the official track just after the jump.



Son, you're a long way west of us now
And God doesn't see you anymore
This map hasn't been completed, the landmarks are you and you alone
Is anything calling you back to your home again?

[Chorus:]
Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it


Son, you're a far cry from defeated
But you have a rage that breaks my heart
And time isn't like an arrow, it's more likе an axe that falls on you
Where past can bе future happening in present day

[Chorus:]
Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it


[Instrumental]


[Chorus:]
Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind, or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it


[Outro]
Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
