lyrics

Chorus:
Awake O Sleeper, for your time has come
The dreaming is over and the nightmare has just begun

Verse 1:

She hails from the beautiful country of Romania,
Roxanne living in the city of Oradea
The radio waves reach and play from Hungary
She listens as she’s sitting in her bed feeling hungry
While her dad’s drinking rum, spending money at the pub
She’s looking to her mummy to fill her tummy up
But it’s funny ‘cause the money never seems to be lasting
The ‘Black Tar Trade’ puts your pocket in a casket
At fifteen she knows nothing of this
But soon she’ll question what it means to exist
Because this is the beginning of the end
Wake O sleeper because it’s time to descend
Transcending reality no time to pretend
Inhuman brutality with no time to mend
Wake O sleeper because it’s morning again
And today, it’s the beginning of the end

Chorus

Verse 2:
Roxanne wakes up on this fateful morning
Looks to the sky it’s the calm before the storm
When her home’s transformed to a trafficking store
Because her father can’t afford the Black Tar anymore
He resorts to exploring more options
But he’s not finding any that won’t cost him
Because it’s costly fostering this profession
His boss demands he hands over all possessions
What was once a mere obsession now sees his demise
As he stares his only daughter in the eyes
And cries out and tries to tear from this dream
Wake O sleeper from this nightmare’s scheme
The fiends take her away into darkness
Roxanne is broken down until her heart is
Battered and bruised and never new again
Your time has come, it’s the beginning of the end

Bridge:

Though you don’t know what you’ve done
To deserve what’s to come
Awake O sleeper, the nightmare has just begun

Chorus
