lyrics

What sleeps in this land
Testament to an age of terror and wonder
Awaiting resurrection

By the hands of its last disciples
Who by now do not understand
What sleeps in this land

What sleeps in this land
Remnant of what was once divinity
A presence eternal

Benevolent origin of kindness
Before the crisis that led to its bitter end
What sleeps in this land

Buried and forgotten
As the world went up in flames
With its body long since rotten
Only anguish remains

Just a specter of a past
That did not treat it kindly
Goodwill didn't last
They tormented it blindly

When it fell on this land
It was seen as an omen
A gift from the gods
The salvation they sent

For the famine ran rampant
There was death at each door
The plague tore through this land
Divided by war

Now we must pay for what they have done
Return the kindness and repent one by one
This is our domain and we make amends
Here and now, if we wake
What sleeps in this land

We're the only ones who know
What sleeps in this land
It is time to reunite with
What sleeps in this land

What sleeps in this land
About to awaken
And see its resurrection
Finally they will understand
What sleeps in this land

We’re the only ones who know
What sleeps in this land
This is our domain and we make amends
Here and now, if we wake
What sleeps in this land
