Awake Awake from the cross Awake from the gain Awake from the loss Awake from the body Awake from the soul The more you are woken The more you are whole My kin What have you done You've ruined your kingdom You blew out the sun You tortured the water You poisoned the well You burned every flower On your way to hell I have tried to be nothing I've tried to be true I've tried to be someone I've tried to be you I've tried to be young I've tried to be God I've tried to become Anything I am not Oh Mother creator You've given me life But every heartbeat Cuts like a knife Someday we'll be better A new season of corn But we all have to die So we can be reborn And I'll bury the past I'll bury the road I'll bury the future I'll carry the load I'll bury the flesh I'll bury the bone And when I am done I will bury my own
