lyrics

I dreamt the world is on fire
And there this great pacific gyre
Beared the wrath of its ash

You know the word is a liar
And the truth lies on a pyre.
black smoke swirling burning fast

Sleeping through the storm
Spinning all around, unaware,
undisturbed and warm
Completely unprepared
For the fury bearing down

It’s time to wake up.

I saw it from space
Embers of an alter-place
Which was not all a dream

You know the world is a liar
For which the oceans bare the pyre
And washes it clean.

You’d better wake
You’d better wake
Oh you’d better wake up now

Shaking your shoulder
Hoisting up your dented blue Venetian blinds
Sweat drenched in your comforter
Wet haired and confused.

It’s time to wake
It’s time to
It’s time to wake up now.
