The Sleeper - Diamond Head

Staring into the dark

Cold hands wrapped around the heart

A quiet war and a hidden truth

The ashes fallen to the ground reveals a destiny

Holy mother’s poison needle trials my fears

The flesh erodes into the bone

Epiphany slumbers at the seams within

It echoes to Shai Hulud

Prophecy rising from the sands

The keepers of the lands

The sleeper must awaken

The sleeper that’s deep inside

The sleeper must awaken

For the sleeper can never die

Stare into the womb

Drink the bile and tread through dreams no more

Holy worms will split the earth and blacken the sun

The witches told the spice must flow

Let the voices crush and break the temples in you

And give into Shai Hulud

Prophecy rises from the sands

The people of the lands

The sleeper must awaken

The sleeper that’s deep inside

The sleeper must awaken

For the sleeper can never die

And from the depths of the moon

A name will echo through time

As the giants rise up from the earth

To end the silent war under the golden sky

And they will carry justice to the nations

Father the sleeper’s awakened

The sleeper that’s deep inside

The sleeper must awaken

For the sleeper can never die

The sleeper must awaken

The sleeper that’s deep inside

The sleeper must awaken

For the sleeper can never die
