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 have separation

I'm dreaming
Oh, I'm dreaming

Oh, I wake up in the middle of the night
I found my dream in the coat of light
A brave new world in my head
Lewd bad monkeys and the living dead

I see power for power
Money for money
And fame for fame 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 alright

Oh, I wake up in the middle of the night
My senses screaming, some thing'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, some thing'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
