[Verse 1]
Our eyes meet across the battlefield
Across the bodies of the slain
Yours are hollow, mine are red
But I know you worship pain
Here we are, the dawn is breaking
But the light just sears our souls
I lay my head down, close my eyes
To dream away these woes
[Chorus]
Donât wake me up until itâs over
Iâm dreaming of the past
Before these wounded minds grew older
Before the gods poured out their wrath
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Heavy words are hard to take
But theyâre better than a lie
Inside your closet, your skeletons
Canât wait to go outside
Here we are at the beginning, ha
Beginning of the end
I lay my head down, close my eyes
To dream itâs all pretend
[Chorus]
Donât wake me up until itâs over
Iâm dreaming of the past
Before these drunken hearts grew sober
Before the gods poured out their wrath
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Was the world this dark when I was a child?
Heroes just villains who learned to lie?
I lay my head down in this grave
Clasp my hands and close my eyes
[Chorus]
Donât wake me up until itâs over
Iâm dreaming of the past
Before these sainted souls grew colder
Before the gods poured out their wrath
Donât wake me up until itâs over
Iâm dreaming of the past
Before these wounded minds grew older
Before the gods poured out their wrath
Before these wounded minds grew older
Before the gods poured out their wrath
[Outro]
