Into Life: The Awakening

#progressiverock #spiritualawakening #rockanthem
This hauntingly beautiful progressive rock anthem features a powerful baritone voice narrating a journey of profound spiritual awakening and internal struggle. The lyrics explore the grueling process of "sorting out the lies," navigating the debris of "burned bridges," and escaping the "prison of the mind." The song’s central imagery—represented by the "rapids under my bed" and the "fossil of my heart"—captures a desperate plea to be shaken from a "restless sleep" and to stop "sleepwalking on a ledge." Listeners seeking deep, philosophical rock music about confronting the truth, overcoming soul-blindness, and diving headlong "into life and over the edge" will find this track to be a visceral, high-energy experience of redemption and transformation.

Into Life: The Awakening

Sorting out the lies I bought
A million miles of thought

Beyond high ridges
Over the burned bridges
Pain drove me to my knees
In the dust, searching for the keys
Diggin’ for the missing part
But I found a fossil of my heart

All these rapids under my bed
Shake me, shake me
Wake me from the dead
From this restless sleep
Break me, enrage me
Bring me from the deep

My soul trapped and blind
In the prison of my mind
I threw away my crown
I had to let all my guard down
See what I have found
See what I have found.

All these rapids under my bed
my bed,
my bed,

Don’t fear the truth, don’t turn away
Open up your heart, hear what it has to say
Don’t fear the truth, don’t turn away
Open up your heart, hear what it has to say
Throw me on the rushing stream
Crashing, thrashing
For more than a dream

Stop sleepwalking on a ledge
Sway me, take me
Into life and over the edge
Stop sleepwalking on a ledge
Sway me, take me
Into life and over the edge
Over the edge
into life
Over the edge
into life
Into life
