---

Am I awake?

Despair has wound

Round my throat so tight

The tears ran down and dried out long times ago

There's no taste of salt in my eyes, only raging thirst

It sticks behind my eyelids

Like melted hate

It drapes a veil and wakes up the sleeping hounds

[Bridge]

Now

It's time to hope

For you to hope

And to believe

You were the ones who cast the first stones,

Who cast the first oaths

You despise all the things you will

Never understand

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You!

Fed the hounds of war and still hoped

That they

Will never disrupt their chains

[Bridge]

The fire in my iris incinerates my last compassion

Eclipse of human feelings

Led by blackened thoughts

No trace of mercy left

Within a decaying sanity

Am I awake or insane?

I am awake!

[Chorus]

The hounds of war cannot stop (x2)

[Final]

Mourns of grief will never reach my ears

Remorse no longer lives in an unchained heart of mine
